Volcanic ash cloud grounds more flights and could bring summer of disruption The Guardian
05.05.10
The volcanic eruption in Iceland disrupted services for thousands more air passengers in Ireland , Northern Ireland and Scotland yesterday as the Civil Aviation Authority admitted more problems were possible in summer.
Flights to and from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast, Derry and Dublin were grounded, as increased activity from Eyjafjallajokull produced an ash cloud dense enough to cancel hundreds of services, despite revised guidelines that now permit flying through contaminated airspace.
The cloud also drifted into north-west England and Wales yesterday, but airports remained open across the rest of the UK. The UK air traffic controller Nats said it hoped "fewer restrictions" would be imposed today as the cloud moved in a southwesterly direction, which allowed Edinburgh airport to reopen yesterday evening, although Glasgow and Northern Ireland remained under no-fly zones.
"There is no doubt that if the volcano continues to erupt and the ash is of a density that is unsafe, we will see more no-fly zones," said a CAA spokesman.

Preparation for getting travel insurance
Before contacting travel insurance companies you may find it helpful to prepare by having certain information ready.
This list includes many of the things an insurance company will want to know. Some of the questions may seem very personal, but your answers will give an insurer the information they need to help them decide what cover they are prepared to offer you, and what price they will charge.
A typical telephone medical screening process will take, on average 5-10 minutes. If you have, or have had, other conditions as well as cancer you may be asked similar questions about those.
You should be aware that if you do not disclose information that you could reasonably be expected to know when you buy a policy, any subsequent claim that you make could be refused.
Personal information
The name and ages of all those to be insured by the policy - some insurance companies will insist that family or friends travelling with you are insured on the same policy
Your address and contact details
About your trip
The country you are visiting and the type of journey you plan to take. If you have a choice about where you travel, you may consider visiting Europe rather than North America because travel insurance could be cheaper
How long you plan to stay abroad
How far in advance you are booking your trip. Some companies will charge you a higher premium if you will not be travelling in the near future, because they believe there could be a higher risk of you making a claim for cancellation
Any activities you will be undertaking that might be considered a higher risk, such as winter sports
Medical information
A company may ask if you have a pre-existing medical condition, such as cancer. If your answer is ‘yes’ you are likely to be asked more questions about this. Some companies call this their ‘medical screening process’. An insurance company may ask you the following:
