Flights from London and much of the rest of Britain will remain grounded until this evening because of the cloud of volcanic ash looming over northern Europe, air traffic controllers confirmed.
A brief window may be open for flights from Manchester, Liverpool and other airports in the North from 4am but the ash cloud is expected to close them down again by 10am. In Scotland and Northern Ireland some services were able to be operated yesterday and are likely to be able to continue today, but for the south of England the volcanic ash from Iceland is expected to continue to disrupt travel across the weekend.
British Airways decided last night that all its flights in and out of London today will be grounded and it is watching the situation carefully before it makes a decision on services tomorrow.
