As it happens I am a shareholder in a large airline so do in fact part-own quite a few aircraft. I am quite content for the management and flight crew to make their own judgment, bearing in mind that...

Who has suggested that?

The problem is that UK airspace was closed down for an ash cloud that could not be seen 1000 miles from the eruption.

This is a bit difficult to follow because my posts are being disappeared.

You say:

The reason being that we avoided flying in visible volcanic ash. Airmanship.

Clear blue skies.

Hi Sunfish

The problem is that for the past week in the UK we have had brilliant, clear blue skies. In 1940 we had the same. Then the sky was full of aeroplanes. Our parents called it Battle of...

I presume most prudent airmen will avoid flying through visible ash, so I imagine that this will be an extremely infrequent occurrence.
