Jersey Airport management are monitoring the situation

THERE are fears of more disruption to flights from volcanic ash moving into British airspace, although most airports expect to operate normally on Sunday.

Airports in northern Ireland and the Isle of Man were closed on Sunday morning, and the  UK Met Office are warning that the ash could move across parts of the UK over the next few days.

But they also stress that their charts assume the volcano will continue to erupt at the same intensity, and that previously, the volcano’s activity has not remained constant for more than a couple of days

Jersey Airport management are continuing to monitor the situation, and a spokesman said that should there be a problem, they would alert the public via their website www.jerseyairport.com.

He admitted that the Airport had received a number of calls on Saturday, following reports that there would be disruption to flights in the south east of England from tomorrow until Tuesday.

Fears of disruption follow a fresh eruption from the Mount Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. Since the eruption which caused disruption for nearly a week recently, passengers have been advised that there might be problems from time to time and to check with their airlines for the latest information.
