LONDON (BNO NEWS) — A no-fly zone in the UK due to a volcanic cloud from Iceland was extended on Sunday to include Heathrow and Gatwick airports, officials said.

“For 01:00 a.m. local time until 07:00 a.m. on Monday, airports inside the no-fly zone as imposed by the CAA, include London Heathrow, Gatwick, Farnborough, London City, Shoreham, Biggin Hill, all airfields in Northern Ireland, Scottish Western Isles, Oban, Campbeltown, Caernarfon and Aberdeen,” air traffic service NATS said.

“Cardiff remains open but operations may be limited due to close proximity of the no-fly zone,” NATS added.
