The latest charts from London VAAC, with the general Volcanic Ash Advisory show clearly that all of European airspace will remain free from risk for another 24 hours, with the risk beginning to encroach on the very most northern part of Scandinavia later in the period.

The latest European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting charts also look extremely favourable for keeping any ash distribution well away from the majority of European airspace from Day 4 - Day 8, taking today as Day 1. The British Isles appear to be most at risk from transient incursions, although all indications continue to suggest that the Weather pattern will remain fundamentally different to that which evolved during the eruption in 2010.

Transatlantic Ops are likely to be disrupted though in terms of a more southerly routing imminently.
