BBC News - Ash ban to remain for most of UK
Nats has allowed for "overflights" - flights that pass over UK airspace at an altitude above 20,000 feet - allowing for many flights between Europe and the Middle East and North America.
Leaving aside the arguments about wise caution/over caution, what do we think the plans are for a decompression descent? OK, not probable but caution is still caution.
