Grimsvötn: 500 flights cancelled across Europe

As of 16:00CET today, EUROCONTROL has confirmed the cancellation of approximately 500 flights from the approximately 29,000 that would have been expected today across Europe.

According to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) in London, today areas of high ash concentration were over northern parts of the United Kingdom.

There is a strong possibility, they said, that the ash cloud may impact parts of Denmark, southern Norway and south-west Sweden by tomorrow. This would have some impact on flights. However, given the new procedures in place and the predicted movement of the ash cloud over the coming days, the actual impact on flights is expected to be relatively low.
