Limited UK airspace to remain open

UK flights later today will be limited to eastern Scotland and part of northern England as the volcanic ash cloud situation remains “dynamic”, air traffic control company Nats said.

Nats said that from 1pm to 7pm only part of Scottish airspace, including Aberdeen, Inverness and Edinburgh airports, would be available for flights in addition to airspace south to Newcastle airport.

This will mean that there will be no flights after 1pm from Glasgow, which was among the airports that was able to open today and operate services.

And there will be no flights before 7pm at the earliest in the rest of England, nor in Wales or the North.
