The London VAAC are at it again. Severe cavok in Reykjavik all day, northerly winds (Grimsvotn are 200 kms east) and yet they close.

Was nothing learned last year when they repeatedly closed in similar circumstances? And finally when something could be seen here (and felt in your face and mouth, everything was open.

Now they say this could reach UK and Danish Airspace on Tuesday.

Why is there a VAAC in London (where nothing has erupted in thousands of years) serving only the British Isles and Iceland, when Toulouse and Montreal could easily split this area between them?
