Re: Iceland Volcano - Grimsvotn - Erupts
Iceland volcano ash cloud: UK flight disruption continuesAll flights between London City airport, Heathrow and Scotland were cancelled this morning as the Icelandic ash cloud continued to hit air passengers.
Ryanair..... condemned the cancellations after operating what it described as a “verification flight” 41,000 feet above Scottish air space.
The no-frills carrier said that a post-flight inspection revealed no evidence of volcanic ash on the plane’s airframe, wings or engines.
“The absence of any volcanic ash in the atmosphere supports Ryanair’s stated view that there is no safety threat to aircraft in this mythical “red zone” which is another misguided invention by the UK Met Office and the CAA.”
