Important passenger information
Suspension of all flights until 01.00 Sunday 18 April
Last updated: 08.30, Saturday 17 April
The cloud of volcanic ash continues to cover much of the UK. Following a review of the latest Met Office information, NATS – the air traffic control service – has confirmed that air traffic restrictions will remain in place in airspace above England until 01.00 (UK time) on Sunday 18 April, at the earliest.
Passengers should not travel to Gatwick Airport, but should contact their airline for re-booking information.
NATS will review the situation at 15.00 Saturday, and we will continue to update this site with the latest information available.
We are sorry for the disruption and inconvenience this will cause.
