All UK airports have been given the go-ahead to reopen, the Transport Secretary has said.

Lord Adonis made the announcement earlier, after a reassessment of the risk to aircraft from volcanic ash.

The decision means that long-haul BA flights currently in the air will be able to land at London Heathrow.

The first of these, arriving from Vancouver, landed at Heathrow shortly before 2200 BST.


all airports now open. The above is from the BBC site look at BBC news on its web site for more info. As I said on another thread, fancy getting excited at seeing vapour trails.!!!!

They have been taking off from Bournemouth, too.
At last, someone must have listened to Stephen Bath talking sense the other day on television :-)

since my last post I have seen or heard 5 lol all Thomas Cooks.....I know that some have been leaving empty just with crew ready to fly back stranded passagers thats their prioity at the moment still think it will be days even weeks before flights are leaving as they were..

Thats the point it isnt anyones fault not the governments not the airlines or even Icelanders, safety comes first ..

I saw Easyjet first go over about 7:15 this morning. & it felt somewhat of a novelty :o))

(en route to Stansted)

True Hayley, I think they weren't sure what was safe and what wasn't so they erred on the side of caution. I am sure if there is a next time they will know better what to do.

Qantas leaving Melbourne for London tonight - 7.22pm here now.

Thank goodness for that,,it will put a stop to the woo be me's,

I heard such a stupid comment this morning from a reporter to a stranded passenger,,,,,

*So in effect you've been homeless*!!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------

oh yes and all have been safe.!!

I think I missed my way in life I can be dramatic when pushed....and come up with silly things....but I would of said if I was a reporter " You have been left homeless abandoned traumatised and scared for life, so are you pleased to be home safe and sound?"

:}}}}}}}Hayley,

I would have said,,,,stop ya whinging,,,,,,,gawd help you if you had a real life drama to cope with.:}

It's good they are back flying..
Stopping flights,It was the right thing to do.
If one plane had crashed with loss of life well doesn't bear thinking about.
They can't do right for doing wrong can they?

Personally ....... You wouldn't catch me getting on a plane this week.NO way...

Tricia xxx

I don't think people are whinging, I think they have had a horrendous time through nobody's fault. Yes they were kept safe but to be stranded with nowhere to sleep especially if you had young children would have been exhausting, that is what peoples' reaction is pure exhaustion and we should not criticize them for that. And don't forget, in a lot of cases they have had little or no direction as to what to do which is quite frightening if you are in a foreign country with your money running out and you can't speak the language.

I'm glad about that.
I think the odd few of stranded people have made the most of it.
Not nice for others though :((.
Imagine what would happen if there is one engine problem or worse...

*sighs*


I should be in Alicante by now :O(

gotta wait another 10 days - but hey i still get a fortnight off work cos i came back in yesterday, start again on Monday lol

As long as you get there eventually, so fingers crossed.

Went for a walk down by the river this afternoon, and I could certainly hear Norwich International Airport revving up. For minute I didn't notice as a plane flew overhead, then it suddenly dawned on me.


Aww McAnne, I was going to ask if you'd got away or not.

and now they have ran out of food lololol

Haven't seen that, who/what has run out of food Hayley?
