Pretty sure you've all heard about the Volcano that keeps erupting in Iceland. Well the ash cloud is moving south; Way south. Therefore all flights in the UK have been suspended due to safety reasons.
BBC News - Icelandic volcanic ash alert grounds UK flights
All flights in and out of the UK have been suspended as ash from a volcanic eruption in Iceland moves south.
Safety body Eurocontrol said up to 4,000 flights across northern Europe would be cancelled on Thursday.
The air traffic control service (Nats) said no flights would be allowed in or out of UK airspace until 1800BST amid fears of engine damage.
The airspace restriction was the most significant in living memory, a spokesman said.
Nats suggested that the restrictions were unlikely to be lifted after 1800, saying it was "very unlikely that the situation over England will improve in the foreseeable future".
Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark were among the European countries hit.
