Topic of the Week: Another Unpronounceable Icelandic Volcano

May 27, 2011 CF 4 comments

The latest volcano eruption in Iceland has caused some cancellations but they’ve been minor. The Europeans have finally created a system to better deal with ash and that should make things run smoothly. Hopefully. Anyone been stuck? Any thoughts on the new procedures?

They should make giant fans and aim them up to push the ash cloud to a higher level then planes fly…..lol

Due to be flying from London to IAD in the morning so really do hope it does run smoothly. Having a system to deal with this is a huge improvement on not having one at all, which is where we were last year.

… and of course here comes the EU, making all the european airlines pay for the delays associated with it.

I think Europe is taking right measures to deal with this crisis situation. Check my blog post: http://www.aviatime.com/aviation-world-no-longer-threatened-by-volcanic-eruptions.html
