Thread: Icelandic volcano causing flight problems

Well hope no-one here has any plans to fly to northern Europe in the next few days.. or fly back to the US :laugh:


Icelandic volcanic ash alert grounds UK flights

I prefer to go the long way anyway, across russia. Doesn't affect me :P

well as the clouds are drifting east towards Russia then suggest you pack a parachute !

Stupid volcano... and stupid wind! Norway and Great Britain got most of the ash, but it all depends on the wind.

"Flight problems" is putting it mildly. All, and I mean ALL air planes and helicopters are not allowed to leave the ground. The experts say that it's not unlikely that the airspace can be closed for several weeks or even months.

Not only is the volcano stopping air traffic, but the experts say that the ash might even cause a new ice age. Bad news for a Norwegian who loves the summer.
