Could somebody please explain why it is safe for these aircraft to land at other airports within the 'ash cloud' but not at LHR? Is the ash thicker at LHR than it is at BRU?
I dunno but BA 038 just touched down in AMS and it appears that BA 206 and BA 9120 just made the turn toward SNN. BA 084 and and BA 284 are holding on either side of Eire.

Meanwhile, looks like the LH and KL flights to the U.S. have resumed...
