British Airways Chief Executive
Willie Walsh said the airspace

managed and we don't need these
blanket closures," he told reporters in London.
No connection between ash clouds and the Airbus crash in Libya?
I’ve watched a special on the Brit Air flight that was disabled by volcanic ash over Indonesian Sea several decades ago, first highlighting this problem, and how the crew saved the plane by luck and determiation
very scary
with the Euro and Pound being so low i was hoping to take a mini-holiday and head over there for a week
but with this ash thing keeping flights in chaos i am hesitant
ah well
What is the adaptation to this current geologic phase.
I find it interesting how the enviro nuts and Government, are so worked up about BP and the Gulf oil spill and the need for a moratorium on offshore drilling, When Mr or Mrs Icelandic Volcano is spewing more crap than any million oil wells are capable of.
A friend was supposed to be flying to London this morning. Maybe he can take the train?
Any idea what the other Willie,the Walsh Guy is saying is true?
I got the impression that you can run into some serious difficulties if the Ash runs through the plane.
