Looking for cheap airfare to Glasgow or Edinburgh? Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow airports were shut as Nats said it was restricting flights "in accordance with international civil aviation policy". The ash cloud disrupted all flights to and from Manchester with a similar picture at Newcastle airport where all arrivals were cancelled and all outbound flights either cancelled or subject to indefinite delay. In Scotland all airports are shut and most others around the UK cancelled or suspended flights.
Passengers were advised to contact their carriers prior to travel to the UK. The Air Traffic Control Service (Nats) imposed restrictions after the Met Office warned ash could damage engines.
Experts have warned that the tiny particles of rock, glass and sand contained in the ash cloud would be sufficient to jam aircraft engines.
