ASH CLOUD ARRIVES IN CYPRUS BUT NOT THAT EFFECTIVE

Postby halil » Mon May 10, 2010 9:23 pm

The volcanic ash cloud from Iceland is expected to reach the skies of Cyprus tonight and tomorrow. Fresh activities were observed in the volcano in Iceland on the 4th of May and flights across Europe were once again disrupted.
However the ash cloud will not be that effective in Cyprus and flights will take place as scheduled.

A statement from the Meteorological Department said that the light cloud will stay at a level between 12 and 20 thousand feet which means that the ash particles will not be effective on the ground level.
Meanwhile, airports across Europe are reopening after travellers faced weekend flight disruption caused by the volcanic ash cloud.
Most European airports, bar a few in Portugal, are due to open as normal.
Eurocontrol, the European air safety body, said some airspace closures were still in place over Iceland, the Atlantic and Portugal.
