The Met office has today stated that its early predictions of a possible major disruption for UK flights on Friday and over the saturday and sunday straight to Monday at the moment are not likely to come to fruition and that it's now “more hopeful” that travel arrangements will be able to continue as normal.

This about turn is pleasant news for visitors in britain and around the globe who might have been wanting to traverse the constrained region through the weekend break. Particularly those travelling over the UK, Ireland, Germany, Scotland and also over Scandinavia and currently the volcano seems to have ceased its eruption.

However, following last years “ash cloud” chaos some tourists stay cautious and are choosing to book rail and ferry seats other than jeopardizing the potential for air traffic closure which may interrupt their plans. This has stretched travel companies with firms including DDDS Seaways and Eurostar including additional services to address the increased need.

Russ Beech, representative of travel at mega.co.uk claimed “after last years ash cloud horror, people are reluctant to adopt risking potential disruption. It is right that where safety is concerned the Met office take a cautions approach and with such top quality rail and ferry companies in The european union individuals reserving last minute are prudently arranging the option with the least danger by staying away from air travel”.

Happily, lots of lessons were found out a year ago and the Met office is appearing to be to be much less cautious in its tactic yet flight companies including Ryanair think that flights and client confidence might have been damaged unjustifiably.
