Ash Cloud: British Airways Update

24th May 2011 Following forecasts of significant volcanic ash in Scottish airspace, British Airways has decided as a precaution that it will not operate any flights between London and Scotland on Tuesday May 24 up until 2pm.

At present all other flights are unaffected.

We continue to monitor the situation and remain in close contact with the Civil Aviation Authority, National Air Traffic Services and the Met Office.

Customers on any cancelled flights will be able to claim a full refund or rebook onto alternative flights.

Customers are advised to keep checking on our website, www.ba.com for the very latest information on their flight. We would urge customers not to travel to the airport if their flight has been cancelled.

The safety of our customers is our paramount concern and we would never operate a flight unless we believed it was safe to do so.
