Transatlantic ETOPS question with respect to the volcano
Please excuse the limited knowledge on this subject, im hoping some of you can provide more details on a question I have regarding transatlantic operations with respect to the volcano in Iceland.
If a twin engine aircraft is being operated on a transatlantic route under ETOPS im under the impression one of the major Icelandic airfields is used as an emergency divert for part of the route depending on the level of ETOPS approval.
Would the closure of both major Icelandic airports result in the route being stopped or is there another way the operation can be continued under non standard situations such as this?
Thanks for any insight, ive only got my ATPL theory notes to fall back on at this point.
