Hi

I am a layman, simply interested in this news. I get my kicks on Flight Simulator!

Obviously my heart goes out to all air personnel affected by this indefinite problem.

Anyway, all I wanted to say is that, even if the ash dispersed NOW, no-one seems to have thought about the dust accumulation on runways/aprons etc, which will surely get hoovered into the engines?

Also the dust resting on parked-up aircraft?
Show me the dust. There is no dust. Only pollen. And that's bad enough for some.

edit: someone corrected me saying that there was some dust recorded somewhere in the UK. Oh well. I guess the crops will fail now, which is much worse than engines sucking up what's left.
