Description:

Flights are beginning to land in the UK after the airspace was officially reopened. All UK airports have been given the go-ahead to reopen after six days of disruption due to the cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland.
 

However, passengers are advised to still contact airlines as planes and crews may themselves be stranded out of place, making it hard for companies to meet all flight commitments.

Flights have landed at a number of UK airports for the first time in six days following the lifting of restrictions caused by a volcanic ash cloud.

The Civil Aviation Authority allowed a phased reopening of airspace after a reassessment of the risk to aircraft.

It said its safety tests showed that plane engines had "increased tolerance levels in low ash density areas".

BAA, which operates many of the UK's airports, said people should contact their airlines before travelling.

 
"Not all flights will operate during the early period of opening, and we will do everything we can to support airlines and get people moving," a spokesman said.

Some restrictions will remain on flights in UK airspace, but they will be much less stringent than before.
