By the time the cloud hits Europe it's too dispersed to cause total

perfect sense to leave the machines on the ground.

RE: Air Travel Disruption Due to Volcano

 An erupting volcano in Iceland is causing severe air travel 
 disruption to UK and transatlantic European flights. Normal 
 weather patterns here in the UK are dominated by Atlantic low 
 pressure systems sweeping in from the southwest but 
 unfortunately at the moment we have settled weather with a 
 high pressure system to the west which means the winds are 
 light but from the direction of Iceland! Aircraft engines can 
 be damaged by volcanic dust so vast majority of flights 
 currently suspended.
 
 The high isn't moving a lot so this situation could be around 
 for a few days at minimum.

  An erupting volcano in Iceland is causing severe air travel 
  disruption to UK and transatlantic European flights. 
 Normal weather 
  patterns here in the UK are dominated by Atlantic low pressure 
  systems sweeping in from the southwest but unfortunately at the 
  moment we have settled weather with a high pressure system to the 
  west which means the winds are light but from the direction of 
  Iceland! Aircraft engines can be damaged by volcanic dust 
 so vast majority of flights currently suspended.
 
  The high isn't moving a lot so this situation could be 
 around for a 
  few days at minimum.

Re: Air Travel Disruption Due to Volcano

From: AlunFoto

More than 10,000 passengers in Norway are already affected. Looks like
all regular airline traffic is suspended.


I'd rather be stuck on the ground in Norway than halfway across when the 
engines decided to pack it in.

Most of the North-Western European airspace is closed by now. This goes
for the whole of Scandinavia, the UK and Ireand, Netherlands, Belgium,
Northern France, Northern Germany and it's still moving South. 

Just listened to the local tower frequency and they literally sent
planes from the last stretch of taxiway, just short of the runway, back
to the terminal because Berlin approach just signalled they wouldn't
accept any further incoming flights. Never heard anything like this.

They're expecting Dusseldorf, Cologne and Francfort to close later this
night.

Yes we did. So there!

Those blubber-lovin' bastards deliberately arranged that volcano and the
wind pattern to punish us for calling their debts in!

If you can't control your volcano, you should'nt have one.
