Thankfully we have a sensible group (eurocontrol) that are not reducing their saftey standards for commercial interests.
It is not Eurocontrol's decision to open or close airspace. As the guy from Eurocontrol made clear on CNN this morning, they implement any decision,
but the decision is made by national governements.
But Gordon Brown has run for the hills, as is usual when a difficult decision has to be made, and so all we will see from the UK Parliament this week is a trail of dust from the heels of retreating ministers (volcanic dust, perhaps).
