Thursday 15, April 2010
A volcano eruption in Iceland is causing clouds of volcanic ash into the atmosphere. UK Air Traffic Control (NATS) has now closed UK airspace for safety reasons. This means that easyJet, along with all other airlines, is unable to operate flights into or out of the UK.
Volcanic ash can cause a significant safety risk. The suspension of operations could last for an extended period. Please keep checking Easyjet website for updates or information on any booked flights. Safety is number one priority and any flights that pass through affected airspace have been cancelled. All airlines are affected by this unavoidable issue.
