Scottish airports reopen behind volcanic ash risk

Airspace over Scotland has reopened because a volcanic ash cloud that grounded hundreds of flights has moved away, specialists have said.

The ash cloud moved west overnight and has currently cleared all UK airspace, air traffic control body Nats said.

Glasgow, Edinburgh and Prestwick airports and Western Isles routes were among those pretentious on Wednesday.

According to most recent information from the Met Office, from 0700 today all UK airfields will be available.

Flights had been cancelled at Glasgow Airport on Wednesday, while Edinburgh and Inverness both resumed operations afterward in the day.

Aberdeen, Dundee, Kirkwall, Sumburgh and Wick also stayed open on Wednesday, but Prestwick, Campbeltown, Stornoway, Benbecula, Tiree, Islay and Barra were among others hit by no-fly restrictions.
