Western Isles no- fly zone lifted

All Loganair services for today (Thursday 6 May 2010) are planned to operate as scheduled.

No Fly Zone restrictions have been removed from Scottish airspace following a change in the prevailing winds, which have taken the concentrated area of volcanic ash out to the west where it is clear of UK domestic air routes.

Although the situation could still be subject to change depending on the weather and levels of volcanic activity in Iceland, the medium term forecasts indicate that no disruption to flights is anticipated over the next few days.

In the event that circumstances change, Loganair will issue flight information updates as soon as possible thereafter.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers once again for their patience and understanding.
