Bin mal gespannt ob NRN auch geschlossen wird, laut Medien sollen ja auch Teile von Deutschland geschlossen werden, ab 14:00 rechnet man mit Belgien und den Niederlanden

Wenn man sich die Prognosen anschaut, wird der Hof am NRN heute abend (fast) leer bleiben...
Zunächst gibt es sicherlich noch ein paar Diversions von Eindhoven, irgendwann abends wird dann aber auch (Nord/West-) Deutschland gesperrt. Die acht Boeings sind genau dann gerade in Europa verstreut (der STN Umlauf wäre ja aus STN gekommen, Skandinavien ist heute nichts mehr). Morgen geht wohl erst einmal gar nichts, bis im Laufe des Wochenendes die Jets zurückkommen und alles wieder anläuft....

PS.: Da hat meine Prognose von heute Mittag gepasst (bis auf die ausgebliebenen Divs von Eindhoven, die haben einfach zu viel Vorlaufzeit gelassen )
Die Glaskugel sagt mir für Freitag nichts gutes Voraus: Kein Flugverkehr, der Vulkan pumpt ordentlich nach. Dazu auch ein gutes Video aus dem Hahn Forum: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks ... ce#chNum=1
