Cancel all flights!?!

Post by Yorran » Thu Apr 15, 2010 12:12 pm

In real live, all flights in Western Europe are cancelled due to a volcanic ash cloud coming from Iceland.
Pilots flying on real live weather, will get a hard job. I'm from the Netherlands, but i don't see any sign of this ash. Hope this will not bother the Real Live aviation to much!

FlyEurope cancelled all their European flight for now. I think more should do so, to keep it realistic :D

update, only parts of EU are cancelled.

Just received that Benelux Environment remains open for now. Various flights from other parts of the world are ordered to return to departure airpurt.

Little Italy resumption of their flights depends on meteorological reports about the dissipation of the volcanic emissions.

Well, and now that the story is over (hopefully), I am just letting you know that I was one of those who paid for the volcanic ash. I was in Krakow those days (real life of course) and I could not return to Athens. Eventually I had to pick the coash solution... 2000Km (36 hours) sitting on that bloody bus seat.
