Flights in and out of the UK and Ireland face severe disruption due to the return of Icelandic volcanic ash. Already authorities have announced that flights to and from Belfast and other parts of Northern Ireland have been stopped until at least 12pm GMT. More flight misery as ash cloud returns Expert David Rothery explained that potentially dangerous ash is again heading south-east from Iceland. “The ash cloud is becoming a problem again because the activity at the volcano has intensified. It’s not as intense as it was when the problem began a month ago but certainly throughout today grey ash has been injected high up into the sky to several kilometres, maybe about 6,000 meters and that’s been caught by the high altitude winds and it’s been blown towards Scotland,” he said. Meanwhile, Britain’s Transport Minister has said that five-day ash prediction charts will be used from now on, rather than the 18-hour forecasts available to airlines and the public until now.
