This year, Europe seems more prepared: have distinguished three levels of risk and most airlines are prepared to fly with volcanic clouds low or medium risk. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in the UK said yesterday that the measures taken since last year "will help to limit any disruption in the event that volcanic ash reached this week in European airspace." But the CAA has warned that "can not rule out a disorder of aviation." That will depend on the evolution of the volcanic eruption and the cloud, depending on winds and weather.
