That means we could potentially be seeing ash spilling into the air for 2 years straight. | ||

But I suppose you didn't mean that every country are sending airplanes despite the dangers. Anyway, I don't have much information about it, but I suppose they have to try. I mean, they must be desperate since there's so many problems because of the eruption. I have a friend who's stuck in Scotland and she can't come until Friday or even later. But it's not just "regular" people who are stuck. Imagine all the airborne transports being delayed, important meetings that have to be canceled etc. We're talking about losing millions if not billions of dollars here. Many airline companies are on the edge on bankruptcy, for example. Some economics say that most of them will last a few weeks maximum. Some airports are already back on track in Sweden though, and the biggest one might even reopen tomorrow. It seems that it's safe to fly, except for certain areas. Not posting any sources since they are in Swedish. This newspaper is not much of a source anyway, but consequences like these seem very likely. | ||

It CAN last up to a year, but that is not very likely at all. And it should also be very low chance that Katla erupts because of this. And yeah, it does seem like airports are opening all over europe this evening, but i guess it is quite uncertain if they will remain open, as it all depends on where the wind takes the ash. | ||

"The eruption of an Icelandic volcano in 1783 caused a thick fog of gas across much of Europe and North America for eight months." :O British Airways, Air France and some other airlines have sent test flights up to check out the conditions, they say they have not had any problems with the engines. However the ban on air travel in the UK was just extended to tomorrow evening. | ||

However the ban on air travel in the UK was just extended to tomorrow evening. Fair enough, the possibility is definitely there, but as the article states, it is not likely to happen. "So far, there have been no signs of the reawakening of the Katla volcano, but a lot of things can still happen,’ Prof Einarsson concluded" "But, rather than ultimate catastrophe, meteorologists say the ash in the sky is more likely to merely cause some spectacular sunsets." | ||
