Volcanic Ash Cloud Drifting Over Iberia, Irish Air Authority Says
May 8 (Bloomberg) -- Irish airspace and airports continue to be clear of volcanic ash originating from Iceland, the aviation authority said today in a statement on its website.
“However, the ash cloud situated over the North Atlantic is drifting in over the Iberian Peninsula, and other parts of southern Europe, with a consequential risk to flight in those areas,” the statement said. “Irish Airports are expected to be open until at least midnight tonight. However, North Atlantic flights and flights to and from Southern Europe may be impacted over the weekend. Airspace over Northern Scotland may also be at risk later today. ‘’
