The Green Party is loving all this. I run a small aircraft leasing company, and am expecting airlines not to pay us this month, what about all the ancilliary businesses that rely on aviation from taxi drivers to fruit importers.
I am sure this is all nonsense. I cant see how engines cut out because of this, no one is saying fly through the plume of the volcano, we are 800 miles away! What I can see is engines going to shop visits sooner than before, but if this crazyness does not stop soon there will be no aviation industry in Europe. Most people asked "would you fly at the moment" say "no"
BBC - Have Your Say: Would you fly? so suggest all of you say you would be prepared to fly (that is of course if you are so willing) otherwise the media will be reporting that the majority of people dont want to fly and the politicians wont step in.
