London, The Great Britain
The volcanic ash from the environmental catastrophe that occurred because of the volcanic eruption in Iceland this month has compelled the authorities of the British air traffic to seal the air space which falls above the land of Scotland and the northern Iceland. This order was clearly announced on Wednesday immediately some hours after the ban lift.
There can be no landings and take offs on Wednesday. This is confirmed news from the civil aviation authority of the Great Britain which was announced on Tuesday night. The authorities had expressed fear about the worsening of the situation as the cloud of ash is expected to change its direction of movement towards England and Wales.
The northern airports of Ireland ordered a flight suspension till further notice from Dublin. There can be a restriction on the flight operations that start from the southern part of the nation by the afternoon, as clearly said by the authorities of the civil aviation of Ireland.
In the last month, the European air space was closed for six days because of this major environmental catastrophe. There was a great discomfort to hundreds of passengers apart from a loss worth billions of dollars in the air space sector plus other associated sectors also.
As per the met office forecasts, the ash concentration exceeds the permissible limit put by the engine manufacturers.
