Iceland Volcano Update: Normal air services expected over Europe (04h15)

Travelinfo.ca: Grimsvötn: EUROCONTROL confirmed that no significant impact was expected over European airspace today (May 26) as a result of the volcanic ash cloud from Iceland.

According to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) in London, the areas of ash concentration over the north of Germany yesterday resulted in approximately 450 flight cancellations, mainly affecting the airports in Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin.

On a normal day, these airports would expect around 120, 480 and 530 flights respectively. The German airports are currently fully accessible again.

However, the Irish Aviation Authority warned that a small number of European destinations might still be affected.
