airspace closed 2000nm from the core.....whole thing is fast becoming a circus as the boffins decide what actually defines contamination re safety of flight.
In the mean time, businesses are dying, perishable goods are rotting, passengers stranded, train, road and rail clogged, airline jobs at risk plus a raft of ancilary jobs.....unless the eu give airlines a helping hand which I doubt they will, there are operators out there that are going to sink while the what defines contamination debate rolls on. Airlines have given subtle hints like BA, LUFT that their test flights went without a hitch but have their hands tied.
