Following a review of the latest Met Office information, NATS advises that restrictions preventing flights in controlled airspace over England and Wales will remain in place until 0700 (UK time) tomorrow, Saturday 17 April, at the earliest.

From 1900 (UK time) today ATC restrictions will be lifted in a large part of Scottish airspace including Scottish airports, Shetland, Orkneys and also Northern Ireland. North Atlantic traffic can also operate to/from points in this airspace. Please note these arrangements do not mean that all flights will operate.

At 2030 (UK time) NATS will advise further arrangements.
