Flights 'Up In The Air' Again
There's continued disruption in the skies above Ireland today.
An overnight U-Turn on flight cancellations has seen a small number of flights departing Belfast City Airport this morning.
The news comes amid increasing confusion about the closure of airspace in NI over risks from volcanic ash.
It had been thought Northern Ireland airspace would close at 7am but the advice was revised overnight.
Instead, flights at Belfast International and City Airports are to be grounded from 1pm while City of Derry Airport will be closed all day.
Passengers have been advised to check airport and airline websites.
Last month, volcanic ash clouds from Iceland grounded flights for six days.
All flights to and from Dublin airport are expected to be halted from 11am, the Irish Aviation Authority said.
On Tuesday, flights into and out of the Irish Republic, Northern Ireland and Scotland's Hebrides were suspended at the first sign of an increase of volcanic ash levels in the skies.
