Ryanair at it already. Everyone else canceling flights and they don't want to. Everyone else not wanting to take the risk but they have a different view.
.
I am a bit confused though. In the risk assessment of flying through volcanic ash was it not the ba aircraft years ago that BA flew through some large particle ash in the far east, which then shut down it's engines, and made the windscreen opaque so the captain had to land looking through a small area at the corner of the windscreen that wasn't affected. What also is the risk assessment for passengers and crew breathing in sharp particles of ash as would be present in the cabin.

Does the forecast chart not show large particle ash over Scotland. Where exactly do Ryanair see no risk in that.
Is it no risk, or no profit!
