Volcanic Eruption in Iceland
Last Updated 21:00 (UK Local)
The Grimsvötn volcano in Iceland erupted last Saturday and the predictions indicated that the ash cloud extended over Scotland and Northern England through the course of Tuesday and parts of Germany during Wednesday.
We can advise that easyJet met with the Civil Aviation Authority and United Kingdom Department for Transport (DfT) where we presented our own independent data on actual ash concentration in Scottish airspace on the 24th May which has been developed with industry experts in the year since the last Icelandic volcanic disruption.
Following that meeting the DfT issued a statement which in summary advised that “The volcano Grimsvötn has currently paused its eruptions and Met Office modelling indicates that significant disruption between now and the end of the weekend is unlikely,”
We are therefore pleased to advise that based on the current volcanic activity that further disruption to our flying programme is unlikely.
