0800 hours local - Wednesday 12th May 2010: All Irish airports will remain open until at least 1300 hours local tomorrow Thursday, 13th May.
North Atlantic routes from Ireland have improved today, and this should ease restrictions that were in place over the past few days. Some difficulties may, however, be encountered with the Balearic islands, the Canaries, and Portugal.
A further update will be issued at 1430 hours local Wednesday, 12th May 2010.
