European Airspace Reopening Where Volcano Ash Thinnest

European airspace that was closed by the volcanic eruption in Iceland will reopen to flights today after transport ministers said planes could fly through thinner parts of the ash plume.

Operations in areas where dust is detected will be assessed by the U.K.’s Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre, which will also determine which zones are entirely safe and which should remain closed because of the potential threat to aircraft engines. A new ash cloud headed for the U.K. means London’s airports may not be able to open, National Air Traffic Services said.
