@manofman I Don't know where you got your info from, but this is what is written on EGCC/MAN website - Severe Restrictions to UK Airspace Affecting Manchester Airport
National Air Traffic Services (NATS) have now confirmed that no flights will be permitted in UK controlled airspace until 1am on Saturday 17th April, at the earliest, due to the volcanic ash drifting across the country from Iceland.
As a result, all arriving and departing flights at Manchester remain suspended until further notice.
