[QUOTE="Jipster, post: 423838, member: 97"] As discussed, plan is to review situation and make decisionby Monday or Tuesday whether or not to move the dates. We have a 72 hour window to make changes. [U][B]CNN[/B][/U] [B]London, England (CNN)[/B] -- Major European airports reopened Monday after being closed overnight because of an ash cloud from a volcano in Iceland, but travel remained severely disrupted after the six-hour closure....... In the Netherlands, Amsterdam's Schiphol airport reopened at 1 p.m. local time (7 a.m. ET) after having been closed for seven hours, but "it will take time (until) air traffic will operate according to schedule," it said. And in Ireland, Dublin Airport reopened at noon local time (7 a.m. ET), an airport spokeswoman said. ....... That left only airports in Scotland's remote Orkney and Shetland islands as the only landing fields closed in the UK, air traffic controllers said. Eurocontrol, the intergovernmental body overseeing European air traffic (see below), expects about 1,000 flights to be canceled Monday, out of 29,000 on a normal day, it said in a statement.......... The department said predictions remain fluid and it urged passengers to check with airlines before taking any action. British Airways said it would notify passengers of potential disruptions on its web site....... There's no way to know how long the volcano will continue spewing ash into the air, Georgia Tech scientist Josef Dufek told CNN........ "It could go on another year," he said, noting that an eruption lasted that long in 1820.

This is approximately 1,000 less than on a normal day, and is due to the expected impact of the current closure of airspace in the south-east of the UK and in the Netherlands. The areas of ash concentration are mainly at low levels. During the course of the day, the current cloud is expected to disperse somewhat. By 14.00CET, the cloud is expected to mainly affect Northern Ireland, parts of Scotland and parts of south-west UK. There may be some continuing disruption to flights in the greater London area. Delays will also be experienced by flights due to congestion in airspace adjacent to closed areas. The latest ‘Air Ash Concentration Charts’ describing those areas where no-fly zone proposals have been made to the EUROCONTROL Member States are attached. On Sunday 16 May, the disruptions in Ireland and north-west UK resulted in a reduction in expected number of flights by about 400. There were a total of 25,088 flights within the EUROCONTROL CFMU area. [U][B]FOREX[/B][/U] [B][/B] EUR rates trending downwards now approx RM4.1 to EUR1...... not sure how long trend will continue.
