London Heathrow, Gatwick airports to re-open - Air traffic service
May 17th, 2010 - 2:47 pm ICT by BNO NewsLONDON (BNO NEWS) — Heathrow and Gatwick airports will be clear on Monday of the UK no-fly zone due to a volcanic cloud from Iceland, officials said.
“The volcanic ash cloud continues to change shape and two key areas affect operations stretching from the South of England to Northern Ireland, and over much of mainland Scotland to the Shetland Isles. As a result, no-fly zones have been imposed by the CAA in these areas, for the period 07:00 local time until 13:00 local Monday,” air traffic service NATS said.
“Airports within the no-fly zones include all those in Northern Ireland, Ronaldsway, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness and Northern Scotland. Cardiff, Swansea, Bristol and Farnborough are also in the no-fly zone.”
“Heathrow and Gatwick airports will be clear of the no-fly zone however restrictions will have to be applied due to their close proximity to the no-fly zone particularly affecting Gatwick inbounds,” NATS added.
