PRLog (Press Release) – May 26, 2011 – In a repeat of the events of June last year, another Icelandic volcano, the Grímsvötn volcano as erupted and spewing volcanic ash around the Skies, causing many people to wonder if their bank holiday get away is now ruined.
Although there has been restrictions put in place causing numerous flights throughout the North of England and Scotland to be cancelled, the head of British Airways and the head of Ryanair are in agreements that some of the supposed no-fly zones are actually perfectly safe to fly in.
British Airways along with Ryanair have both sent test flights into ash zones, with British Airways sending a test flight into an ash "red zone", which are supposedly the most dangerous areas to fly in due to the density of ash.
"Initially it flew over the north of England, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, back to Newcastle. The aircraft then returned and has been examined. All the filters were removed and will be sent to a laboratory for testing. The simple answer is that we found nothing," said Willie Walsh, head of British Airways
Ho my photo and wallpaper wever, dozens of flights to and from Scotland and Newcastle were cancelled throughout Tuesday, with around 500 flights halted throughout Europe and more flights are expected to be delayed in parts of Europe such as Germany where dozens of would be grounded and landings cancelled at the Northern Bremen and Hamburg airports.
A spokesperson form Bad Credit Loans 4 You, who specialist in helping people throughout the UK acquire Holiday Loans ( http://www.bad-credit-loans-4-you.co.uk/holiday-loan-bad ... ) stated "As of this yesterday morning, the skies looked to have cleared up a little, allowing people to jet of on their holidays through today, however it is expected by some that the ash cloud may return over UK skies by Friday, causing concern for families looking to get away for the bank holiday weekend"
However Transport secretary, Phillip Hammond said that it could return at such a high altitude that aircraft may be able to fly beneath it.
Decisions on whether to fly are based on forecasts from the Met Office's Volcanic Ash Advisory Service, rather than real-life measurements of concentrations.
Although the Met Office has part ownership of a research plane, it is currently being used in Ireland to study 'marine organic particles'.
A dedicated Met Office atmospheric research plane, commissioned after last year's volcanic chaos, is not due to arrive until next month.
Mr Hammond, who led a meeting of the Government's emergency response committee, Cobra, sought to play down the threat.
'We have not closed any air space and we will not close any air space,' he said.
'We have moved away from blanket closures."
'We think it's unlikely there will be significant disruption of UK air space'
Mr Hammond based his 'cautious optimism' on the fact that the volcanic ash plume was getting smaller and less intense.
But he also accepted that weather forecasts were 'somewhat unpredictable' and could change every six hours.

So they cannot test for themselves the extent of the ash in the skies and have to rely on evidence give by flight operaters when they are applying to be able to fly in high or medium density ash areas.
Tuesday it was in talks with the German Aerospace Centre to borrow a test plane.
Tuesday night the Met Office said it stood by its five-day prediction showing the entire UK covered in an ash cloud of the highest density from 35,000ft to 55,000ft.
A spokesman for the Met Office said: 'These are the most recent charts available and are on our website. We stand by them.
He then added: 'It is based on the assumption that the volcano will continue to erupt at the same rate. It is a guide, not definitive.'
The spokesperson from Bad Credit Loans 4 You stated, "The latest news is that the Volcano may have stopped erupting and with the UK skies clearing up it is hoped that it is looking like good news for UK holiday makers"
'It is not officially declared over. We have every indication that it's been ceasing,' he added, saying it was up to geophysists formally to declare it over.
