Airspace Restrictions over Ireland
I just can't figure out this industry. Not going into the initial release of volcanic ash and resulting airspaces clousures, but as a result of that, we now introduced a "NO FLY ZONE" so as to minimise airspace closures. What really annoys me now is that the IAA and also reports in the press seem to indicate that airports will reopen this afternoon on the 4th May. Click the below link, charts issued by VAAC this morning, can anyone tell me how the HELL they came to this decision:

Parts of Ireland and the irish sea (SFC to FL200) are still within this NO FLY ZONE. What am I missing here? If this is the IAA giving into commercial pressures or maybe just not taking this seriously enough, I am out of this industry
