some current news updates on the iceland volcano eruption and resulting ash cloud, i think the jury is definitely out over the flight restrictions that where imposed following the icelandic volcano eruption, and the resulting ash cloud which caused european and especially uk governments to suspend air travel.

it was probably a over reaction that could or may have been better handled without a complete shut down of uk airspace the travel chaos caused by stopping flight too and from uk airports was probably a slight over reaction to the icelandic volcano ash cloud.

a more balanced response to the iceland volcano ash cloud would of been to just close airports nearest to the ash cloud but keep some airports open, that way air travel would not of needed complete shut down.

now it looks like air travel will be getting back to normal with airports predicted to be getting back open on tuesday and usually service starting to get back to be resumed, as the iceland volcano is activity is said to be slowing down and thus the ash cloud it created should start subsiding.
