10/05/10 Airports Clear This Morning but Aash is Still a Threat
Eurocontrol reported this morning that there were no restrictions on European Airports.
However, ash cloud prediction charts still show a large area of ash reaching from Greenland to the Iberian peninsula, which later today will lie close to the west coast of Ireland and to southern Portugal/south west Spain.
Most flights are currently cancelled at Faro airport in southern Portugal, and the Spanish aviation authority are reporting a dignificant reduction in flights this afternoon (46% reduction at Madrid and 25% reduction elsewhere) in southern and eastern Spain due to ash cloud at higher altitudes (20,000 - 35,000ft).
Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for information concerning individual flights
