Lo spazio inglese riapre alle 22 GMT+1 cioè BRITISH SUMMER TIME

All UK airports can reopen from 2200 BST on Tuesday, the Transport Secretary Lord Adonis has said.

He added that after the ban was lifted it would be up to airlines to bring flight schedules back on track.

The statement was delivered after consultation with the Civil Aviation Authority and a reassessment of the risk to aircraft from volcanic ash.

Some restrictions will remain in place, but they will be much smaller than those enforced under the current ban.

Dame Deirdre Hutton, of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), said there had been detailed consultation with experts to reassess the tolerance of planes to the ash cloud.

The CAA said it was a "situation without precedent" and that decisions had been made based on "thorough gathering of data and analysis".

"The major barrier to resuming flight has been understanding tolerance levels of aircraft to ash," the CAA said.

"Manufacturers have now agreed increased tolerance levels in low ash density areas."

Land at Heathrow

Lord Adonis emphasised that safety remained paramount.

He said: "It is essential that we guarantee to the travelling public that the airlines are safe and that planes can safely fly."

The decision means that long-haul BA flights currently in the air will be able to land at London Heathrow.

Despite the lifting of the ban, it will be some time before flights return to normal.

All British airports can re-open from 10pm tonight after no-fly zones, put in place because of the volcanic ash cloud, were lifted.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said there will be a phased reintroduction of UK airspace.

Experts have reassessed the tolerance levels that planes have to the ash cloud.

They have now divided the cloud between areas that have a high ash density which are "unsafe for flights", and ones where planes can fly safely.

The CAA said it was a "situation without precedent" and that decisions had been made based on "thorough gathering of data and analysis".

It said: "The major barrier to resuming flight has been understanding tolerance levels of aircraft to ash.

"Manufacturers have now agreed increased tolerance levels in low ash density areas."

There are still 'no fly' zones where concentrations of ash are at unsafe levels for flights but these are much smaller than the present restrictions.

The CAA said the Met Office had advised it the 'no fly' zones did not currently cover the UK.

The Transport Secretary Lord Adonis said safety was the "paramount concern" but research into the effects of the volcanic ash had led to a "better" understanding of the implications.

There had been a clamour from airlines to restore flights, with carriers including British Airways pointing to the success of test flights.

BA chief executive Willie Walsh said he did not think it was necessary to impose a blanket ban on all UK airspace last Thursday and welcomed the lifting of the restrictions.

He said: "Safety has been at the forefront of everybody's minds while reaching this decision.

"We are now going to start the difficult task of getting our stranded customers home. This is an airlift which has been unprecedented."

Some 150,000 Britons have been stranded abroad in the wake of an eruption from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland that has thrown an enormous cloud of potentially hazardous ash into airspace over northern Europe.

It is estimated nearly seven million passengers in total have been affected by the blanket bans on flying, which governments have insisted are necessary on safety grounds.

Ash from volcanoes can be turned into a glass form at high temperatures when it passes through a jet engine, which could cause an air disaster.

The closure of airspace has caused a travel nightmare for thousands of Britons who are stuck in far-flung locations with no way of knowing when they will make it back.

Many have embarked on long journeys across Europe to get to the ports along the English Channel but those further from home have been left with no choice but to sit and wait until the ash crisis ends.

On Monday, Mr Brown announced plans to use Royal Navy vessels to bring home some of those stranded abroad.

A brand new £500m cruise ship, the Celebrity Eclipse, is due to leave Southampton for Bilbao this evening to pick up around 2,000 British tourists at the port.

HMS Albion is on its way back to the UK after picking up 450 troops and 280 civilians from Santander in Spain earlier today.

The ship is expected to arrive back in Portsmouth tomorrow.

While travel organisations warned that it would be some time before travel and airports were back to normal, airlines were counting the cost of the disruption.

BA said the flight ban had cost it around £15m to £20m a day and Mr Walsh had questioned the necessity of the hitherto "blanket ban" on flights.

The British Air Transport Association had written to Lord Adonis asking him "to commit to standing behind the industry financially at this very difficult time".

And the International Air Transport Association was highly critical of the European response to the ash crisis.

Anche Stansted sta imbarcando il Dubai e ha cambiato tutti gli status dei voli non FR da CANCELLED in SCHEDULED. Naturalmente i voli FR restano CANCELLED perché, come noto, Ryanair ha deciso di riaprire giovedì.

Io a quelli del FT gli farei leggere questo articolo di "USAToday"

Volcano shake-up: Rome, Madrid trump London among Europe's top hubs

Europe's aviation center is shifting south as the ash cloud from an Icelandic volcano continues to force one of the biggest travel disruptions in history. The New York Times writes "several airports in southern Europe — notably Madrid, Athens and Rome — continued to serve as impromptu hubs for the rest of the Continent on Tuesday … ."

With those airports suffering few effects from the ash cloud, travelers desperate for options into or out of Europe are being forced to turn to those airports. Various media reports have told of travelers coming to those cities from as far as Scandinavia and the United Kingdom in efforts circumvent the closure of major hubs like London's Heathrow airport.

Still, there were some signs of hope this morning -- even at several of Europe's hard-hit hubs. Airports in Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich and Frankfurt were among those where at least some international flights began operating again this week. But, the outlook was less rosy for London Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport. That's because British airspace was expected to be closed at least through Wednesday morning.
