"The most spectacular home coming I’ve ever had"

When the eruption started the flycode was put to red for a few minutes as a standard procedure to see if there is any ash coming from the eruption that might affect air travel. However, as has been the case with all of the eruptions in this area, the ash is not an issue.

Birgir Olgeirsson, a specialist in the Communication Department of the Icelandic airline Play, says that none of the eruptions on the Reykjanes peninsula have had an impact on air travel, and the same goes for the one that started today.
