One of Iceland's many volcanoes Eyjafjallajökull, have caused a complete standstill in the air traffic of several European countries including Great Britain. An ash cloud from the eruption is clogging the airspace over Europe at the moment, making it unsafe to fly.  |

Hi Bobin,ya I saw it on the news pretty amazing and dangerous,I here they are starting to let a few flights out now/incoming days,but I doubt it on the news it showed a new blast of ash .A lot of people stuck at the airports for days and its costing the airlines 200 million a day.I feel sorry for the Icelanders for there health/animals and Enviroment.

Just some new news;
Airspace in Norway and Sweden shuts again
BRUSSELS – Aviation authorities say they have closed the airspace over parts of Norway and Sweden as shifting winds send a new cloud of volcanic ash over Scandinavia.
The Swedish aviation authority says airspace is still open over the capital Stockholm, but closed over the southern cities of Goteborg and Malmo, and large parts of western and northern Sweden.
Authority spokesman Bjorn Stenberg says changing winds meant the ash cloud over Sweden didn't disperse as forecast. Meanwhile, new ash clouds are blowing in over western Norway.
Norwegian authorities say Oslo remains open but airspace over western Norway has closed again, including Stavanger and Bergen.
Eurocontrol says it expects nearly 22,000 flights over Europe on Thursday.
