All the European countries Operate From the airport, Except England

Starting last Monday evening (19 / 4), number of aircraft re-decorated the skies of Europe.

That's after an emergency meeting of transportation ministers 27 European Union (EU) officially lifted the ban on flying. But, until yesterday (20 / 4), British airports were closed because of volcanic ash of Mount Eyjafjallajoekull lead to it.

"Starting tomorrow morning (yesterday), will be more and more planes are back in operation," said EU Transport Commission Siim Kallas last Monday evening, as quoted by Agence France-Presse. In fact, some time after the decision was read, several direct aircraft operations. Among others, the German airline Lufthansa and the Dutch airline KLM. International Airport John F. Kennedy in New York were immediately re-enable all European flight routes.

Unless the UK, almost all European countries where the air port closed since last Thursday (15 / 4), yesterday was officially re-operate the airport. One of them was Charles de Gaulle International Airport that began yesterday morning, back in operation. Gradually, the airport in Paris that will operate all flights as on normal days.

Meanwhile, Germany's Lufthansa has begun flying the new main airport reopened at noon yesterday. Some even had to fly aircraft with special permission. Following the French and Germans, at least seven countries also reopened the main airport. Namely, Sweden, Croatia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria and Sweden.

Eurocontrol predicts, the new European aviation activity returned to normal on Thursday tomorrow (22 / 4). Because, until yesterday, the British still have not opened any of the airport. "Volcano eruption in Iceland rose. Shot of a new volcanic ash which is expected to fly to the south and east, toward England," explained Board of the National Air Traffic Controller (passage) in a written statement.

By appeal passage, the entire length of the flight routes across the UK also has not been reactivated. Scotland and Ireland yesterday to reopen the airport is also only operates short routes. "New domestic flights are really active. So far only scheduled one international flight to Iceland. Ironic," explained Steven Boyle, an information officer at Glasgow Airport, Scotland.

But, back to active European flights direaksi cold by the military and United States aviation experts (U.S.). Paul Fischbeck, a former military pilot Affairs of Uncle Sam, said that volcanic ash was too dangerous for aircraft engines. For proof, one engine F-16 fighter jets that could get boost NATO volcanic ash that become damaged.

When checked, the aircraft is inside the machine there are hardened glass flakes. It is said that volcanic ash containing soft particles like sand and glass are quickly turned into crystals when exposed to air Supercooled jet engine. Crystallized glass is then inhibit the performance of aircraft engines and has the potential to make aircraft engines die.

"So far, indeed there has been no facts about the risk of flying in the air that is mixed with volcanic ash. We just make assumptions based on information coming in," says David Ropeik, risk perception theory instructor at Harvard University, as quoted by the Associated Press. Uncertainty, Fischbeck said, it has become a hindrance. Consequently, he appealed to the prospective passengers extra cautious.
