Volcanic eruptions in Iceland are common, and while Keflavik International confirmed there had been a new eruption – sufficient to prompt a Foreign Office alert – there was at the moment "no disruptions to arrivals or departures".
Icelandair put out a similar statement, in which it said the eruption wasn’t affecting its or Keflavik’s operations. "Our flight schedule remains unchanged," it said, adding it was monitoring the situation closely.
New Icelandic carrier Play said the eruption "posed no threat to infrastructure in the area", adding "no travel disruptions are expected as a result".
