Dear All,
Due to the eruption of Volcano Grimsvotn the movements US bound shipments via Liege have been affected as the flight departures from LGG to US would be cancelled due to the bad weather conditions.
Airports likely to be affected from 1300 to 1900 BST include Londonderry, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Prestwick, Durham Tees Valley, Newcastle and Carlisle, air traffic services company Nats said.
European air traffic controllers said 252 flights had been cancelled so far.
At the moment the model suggests that disruption later in the week is likely to be limited, but of course the weather patterns are changing all the time," he said.
At 0800 BST the Met Office said the ash had already reached northern Scotland and would spread to Wales, northern England and Northern Ireland by midday and across much of the UK by the end of the day.
But forecasters said changing wind patterns make it hard to predict its exact path and concentrations would vary between regions.
The following airlines have announced cancellations:
British Airways is not operating any flights between London and Scotland until 1400 BST
KLM cancelled flights to and from Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Newcastle as well as flights from Durham Tees Valley Airport
EasyJet cancelled flights from Glasgow until lunchtime
Ryanair said it has been advised by the Irish Aviation Authority not to operate flights from Glasgow Prestwick, Edinburgh or Aberdeen until at least 1300 BST on safety grounds, but believed that was no basis for the cancellations
Aer Lingus cancelled 12 flights to and from Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh
Flybe cancelled 11 flights to and from Scotland
BMI said flights to and from Aberdeen were subject to delay but services in and out of Glasgow and Edinburgh were unaffected
Glasgow-based Loganair has cancelled 38 flights. Only inter-island routes in Orkney are unaffected
Eastern Airways will not be operating any services in or out of Scottish airspace.
We shall keep you updated with the furtehr updates on this.
With Warm Regards,
