No-fly zone extended as ash cloud moves
A no-fly zone has been extended from 13.00 today to cover Scotland, Northern Ireland and North West England due to the moving volcanic ash cloud.
The Civil Aviation Authority extended the no-fly area to include Belfast City, Belfast International, the Isle of Man and Edinburgh airports from lunchtime in addition to those airports already affected (see earlier TravelMole story).
"Latest information from the Met Office shows that bthe ash cloud continues to move south and change shape," the CAA said, adding that a further update would be given at 18.00 today.
But the CAA said: "The situation remains changeable, so passengers expecting to travel today and tomorrow from airports in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the north of Engand, Wales and the West Country should contact their airlines to check whether their flight is operating."
Airports in the South East are not expected to be affected, based on current forecasts.
