Same, although I’d rather the idiot be banned so we don’t have to put up with his irritating nonsense rather than having to try ignore him.

This is actually getting quite worrying. Reports seem to indicating that activity in the volcano is increasing and the winds are still bringing the ash cloud this way, so who knows when it will start clearing. Even if flights resume over the weekend I can’t imagine this mess getting sorted for quite a while!

I would of thought even if flying starts tommorow ,it would take a good week to get back to normal.
There will not be any passenegers at the affected airport ,wll not that many.
The problem will be the rest of the world with 10’s of 1000’s of stranded passenegers with now where to stay and I suspect some fast running ot of money.

Not good for airlines at all, the losses of this event may become unbearable for some carriers!

Iceland has truly kicked some ash!:D

I can see oe than one or two going under.
Would be surpised if a Major carrier went under , but not completly shocked.

This clould s getting more worring now not only for air travellers but for other areas too.
SKY news ws reporting last night that SAS could lay off 2500 worker if this carries on for much longer.
In real terms how many airlines can afford to have all there aircraft sat at an airport racking up charges , it has been days now with no let up in site.
I suspect even the big airlines could not do it for much longer ,I bet some of the smaller ones must be even closer to the wire.
What about places that are dependent on air transport for food and such like.
Ther could even be shortages in shops of food.
But short of putting some giant fans in the air (only joking) there is nothing anybody can do

I understand that all UK airpsace including Scotland is now closed untill 7pm Saturday.
Info from SKY News

I’ve been tracking most of the flights going into glasgow just today, theres two Iceland air 757’s going in, TF-FIV and TF-FIX which is a 753. Should be on final any second now. The transatlantic flights going into glasgow, will probably have to fly at a lower flight level.

Wish i could make it on saturday. D;

It just so happens I am in Glasgow this weekend for a family party , so I could make it ,if it is worth while.

Perhaps aero engine manufacturers should pay as much attention to ash then they do to birds from now on!

Go on admit it you are doing this has a joke.
You must be?
If you are not, then you really need to do some reading up about Ash does and how it affects aero engins.

On other site’s Iam on you would of been give a tem ban by now.

…..It is a very odd thought that there aren’t any planes trailing up there above that big grey thing. Myrtle Avenue must feel eerily quiet right now!

Just been up to Manchester for a GV i needed and it was very strange to see so many aircraft on the deck doing nothing.
I drove round all 3 terminals and it looks and feels like a film ,almost no car or people moving.
But most of all was how quite it was.

very sureal watching flightradar24 and see nothing over the UK.
