This has never happened before in the UK. The news reports that all Scandinavian airports are similarly affected and also some flights in the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain.
Some concern about further eruptions from other volcanoes in the region since they are interconnected.
The ash is expected to remain in the upper atmosphere since we have an inversion layer (cold air below warm air) and the volcanic dust is expected to drift Eastwards across Europe.
