Nuovi disagi nel traffico aereo europeo per l'eruzione del vulcano Eyjafjallajökull
Ho pensato di aprire una nuova discussione per evitare di confondere questa emergenza con il caos di 2 settimane fa.
Ash cloud closes Irish airspace
The Irish Aviation Authority have grounded all flights in and out of the Republic from 0700 BST on Tuesday after the volcanic ash cloud drifted south.
The IAA said the restrictions will be in place until at least 1300 BST.
The aviation authourity said over-flights of Irish airspace from the UK and Europe will not be affected.
The UK's air traffic control body Nats said there will be no restrictions over UK airspace before 0700 BST but it will monitor the situation overnight.
The IAA said the decision was based on information from the Volcanic Ash Advice Centre (VAAC).
The no fly zone will affect Dublin, Shannon Galway, Sligo, Ireland West (Knock), Donegal, Cork and Kerry.
Irish carriers Aer Arann and Ryanair have cancelled flights on Tuesday within the zone, with passengers advised to check with the airlines before travelling.
The IAA said the decision to ground aircraft was based on the safety risks to crews and passengers as a result of the drift south of the volcanic ash cloud caused by the north-easterly winds.
Eamon Brennan, IAA chief executive, said winds have already pushed part of the volcanic ash cloud down over part of the centre of Ireland.
"The latest information we have is that some of the denser volcanic ash, that's the no-fly zone, is over the Donegal area and we are concerned about the north-easterly winds moving this down over the rest of the country," Mr Brennan said.
Flights over Europe were hit by a six-day shutdown of airspace last month over fears of the effect on jet engines of ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland.
