The Icelandic volcanic ash cloud returned to the south of Poland, Sunday, and has since moved to airspace above airports in Krakow, Katowice and Rzeszow.

 

“By Monday morning the ash cloud will be above most of southern Poland,” said Maciej Zaborowski from Poland’s Central Forecasting Office at Warsaw’s Okecie airport. ”This means it is in range of all airports there. The most vulnerable of those are in Katowice, Krakow and Rzeszow."

 

A decision whether flights should be allowed into affected airports will be taken Monday morning.

By noon, most of the country will be under another Icelandic ash cloud spewed out from the Eyjafjoell volcano last Thursday, returning air flight chaos to many European nations.

 

The volcano in southern Iceland returned disruption to air traffic over Portugal and from the north-western part of the Iberian Peninsula to the northern Mediterranean at the weekend. Airlines say up to 500 flights were cancelled in Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland and Croatia. (pg)
