Very Very quiet over Europe now, at 437pm local time in London. Noticed BA flights are all cancelled, so you won't see any BA birds here on Saturday. Does that mean we will see double on Sunday?

Flight radar is struggling by the looks of it with the following message:

Due to an extreme amount of visitors at Flightradar24, we have temporarliy suspended the ability to click on aircrafts (normally shows info (speed etc) and plane trail )
Casper is also looking very sad with no aircraft on it: http://casper.frontier.nl/eham/

Will be interesting to see how this is handled by all involved, and take a few days to catch up.

Looking across at the tarmac of Las Vegas airport from my office window this morning, the BA 777 which arrives and departs each evening here for LHR is moved back from the terminal at a stand-off bay (centre of attached photo). No doubt halted due to the closed air space.

Hi everybody. All UK airports will remain closed until 1300 Friday lunch time. Qantas did manage to get the QF32 and the QF30 out of Heathrow on Thursday by bringing the departure time forward by about an hour, departing just after 11AM local before Heathrow closed at mid-day. I understand that the Qantas flights due to arrive into Heathrow Friday morning are being held in either Singapore or Bangkok with revised arrival times of early evening, but of course that is subject to change as the situation is updated..

NATS have just announced that all UK airspace will remain closed until at least 1pm British summer time. (that's 26hrs and counting)

Amazing impact - mother nature has a lot of control over things, so it will be interesting how "clear" the skies get over the coming hours.

On the news this morning they had the usual whinging passengers, this time complaining about "we don't know whats happened". Every airline is trying to get information and get things organised as quickly as possible.

If you haven't got PlanePlotter installed, go to this site to see air traffic or the lack of air traffic over the UK. Reminders me of USA on 11 Sept 2001.

The BA 777 in Las Vegas I mentioned in an earlier post has just returned to the terminal and is at the gate. Perhaps trans-Atlantic flights approaching from the west may resume soon as the cloud moves east?

Las Vegas airport website has a press release stating today's (Thursday's) BA flight to LHR and VS's flight to LGW as being cancelled (the incoming flights were both cancelled), but the BA flight currently at the terminal is really Wednesday's delayed flight.

Condor's flight from Las Vegas to Frankfurt is still scheduled to depart this afternoon.

Hi everyone,

This may be related, Qantas today has cancelled QF9 from MEL to SIN and LHR but QF29 is still scheduled to leave tonight.

Im not 100% sure if the cancellation of QF9 is related but it just may be.

All QF and BA flights to LHR and FRA have been cancelled for today

Also EK is not accepting any passengers on its network whose end destination is in Europe as well due to no more transit accommodation available in DXB for today as well.

More to follow I asume.
