LONDON (Reuters) - Airspace over Scotland and Northern Ireland will be closed from 0600 GMT on Wednesday because of ash blown from an active volcano in Iceland, Britain's Civil Aviation Authority said on Tuesday.
Airports are also expected to be closed in the two regions.
It warned the ash would move further south, potentially affecting airports in the northwest of England and north Wales on Wednesday.
"The situation is very dynamic, so passengers expecting to travel from the impacted airports should contact their airlines to check whether their flight is operating," it said in a statement on its website.
Further guidance is expected midnight Tuesday.
Last month, ash from the same volcano closed European airspace, causing travel mayhem for thousands of stranded passengers.
