London Escapes as No-Fly Zone is Extended Across Northern U.K.


May 16 (Bloomberg) -- The U.K.’s Civil Aviation Authority said a no-fly zone required due to the high density volcanic ash cloud will not affect London airports for the period 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. today, according to National Air Traffic Services Ltd.

“The no-fly zone for this period has moved east to a line stretching from Prestwick on the west coast to Humberside on the east coast and south to a line just north of Birmingham,” NATS said in an e-mailed statement. “Airports which fall within the no-fly zone include all those in Northern Ireland, Ronaldsway, Prestwick, Carlisle, Manchester, Liverpool, Doncaster, Humberside and East Midlands and some Scottish island airports including Campbeltown, Islay and Barra.”
