Volcanic eruption in Iceland: Disruption to flights 15 April 2010 ( Update 09.45 )

A volcanic eruption in Iceland has created an ash cloud that is currently travelling in an easterly direction. As a result, restrictions by UK National Air Traffic (NATS) are in place.

All departrues from LHR, LGW and LCY will be cancelled for the rest of the day from 1130 UK time (all UK domestic flights have already been cancelled for today)

This applies to all airlines

Some flights from the USA (BA292/296/68) have been night stopped and others already airborne may be diverted (BA228/192/264/188).

Further disruption is likely as a second eruption has occurred in closer to Finland and Russia.

The most reliable and up to date information regarding disrupted flights can be found on the arrivals and departures information on ba.com as the situation is likely to change through out the day.

A commercial policy is in place which will allow customers to rebook or refund. The details are outlined below:

“It’s our policy to rather add more flights than to rely on pushing prices up. If you compare the prices of domestic flights during the tournament, our prices are the lowest, finished and klaar. We invite consumers to compare fares for themselves and we challenge all airlines to reduce their prices,” said kulula executive Heidi Brauer. (She’s the big cheese in marketing). Most of the additional seats have been added to our Lanseria schedule. These flights have proven to be a popular choice for World Cup travellers for its ease of use and low cost flights. kulula flights from that airport during June 2010 are being sold from as little as R519.

Well done Kulula! You certainly Proudly South African!
