Finally some respite on the whole 'ash cloud' and no fly zones!!
New rules to allow planes to fly at higher ash densities for a limited time will be introduced at noon, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has said to fly in the ash zone, airlines will need to get agreement from their aircraft and engine manufacturers. The authority's move was welcomed by airlines, regulators and manufacturers after thousands of passengers were stranded by UK airport closures.
Airline chiefs have heavily criticised the earlier no-fly zone system.'Exceptional features'
All flight restrictions have now been lifted, after the volcanic ash cloud over UK airspace moved away, but knock-on disruption continues. Airport operators are advising passengers to check for delays to their flights with airlines.
