Air passengers booked on flights this morning will be able to travel after UK airports reopened.
Airspace over northern Ireland, western Scotland and parts of south-west England was closed overnight after further volcanic ash from Iceland appeared. But air traffic controller NATS said the cloud drifted west through the night and UK airspace was now cleared.
In a statement, NATS said: "The no-fly zone imposed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) tracking the high density area of the volcanic ash cloud, has moved west overnight and has now cleared UK airspace.
"According to latest information from the Met Office, from 0700 today all UK airfields will be available. We continue to maintain close dialogue with the Met Office and with the CAA, which is responsible for imposing no-fly zones."
