IAA: Outlook until Friday afternoon - no volcanic ash impact on Irish airspace
25-May-2011 at 1500 local: Based on the latest information at 1300 local from the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) in London, the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) confirms that there will be no impact on Irish airspace for at least the next 48 hours.
All Irish airports remain open. However, a small number of European destinations may be affected by the ash cloud thereby impacting on flights to / from Irish airports.
Passengers planning to travel by air over the coming days are advised to regularly check their airline websites in advance of going to the airport. Passengers should also check the status of the airports they are travelling to.
The IAA will continue to actively monitor the situation and is in contact with the VAAC, Met Éireann, Department of Transport, airlines, airports and European air traffic service providers.
As the medium term forecasts indicate there will be no change to the current position, the IAA will only issue an update in the coming days if the situation deteriorates.
