Seriously, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't the case. My girlfriend is temporarily living abroad and last time she was supposed to come home, her flight was canceled as a consequence of this ash. Guess what... now she's coming next Tuesday and I would really go crazy if this happens again.

Seems its not all day,is for about 6 hours so good news
