European countries are currently on high alert after the eruption of Iceland's most active volcano. The ash cloud is currently effecting Iceland's main airport which will remain shut on Monday.
Experts are currently saying there is little chance of a repeat of last years ash cloud problems which saw UK airports shut for up to 6 days. However airports and airlines have been warned that the ash cloud could cause disruption.
Europe's air traffic control organisation warned on its website:
"Ash cloud is expected to reach North Scotland on Tuesday 24th May. If volcanic emissions continue with same intensity, cloud might reach west French airspace and north Spain on Thursday 26th May,"
The ash cloud is expected to move south from Scotland from Tuesday 24th.
Are Any Flights Currently Disrupted:
NO. Unless you were planning to travel to Iceland today, no flights have currently been effected.
What to do if you have flights / holidays booked?
Unless otherwise expressly told by your airline or travel agent, you should proceed to the airport and check-in as normal. If you simply fail to turn up you will not be entitled to any refund / compensation.
When will additional news / information become available:
As soon as information is available we will post it on our website www.notjusttravel.co.uk. This will include any updates from airports or airlines as a result of flight disruption caused by the ash cloud.
