I'm flying Sydney-Vila next Wednesday. Should I be concerned about the volcanic ash cloud? Air Vanuatu's flight schedules haven't been affected as yet, but the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Wellington has issued a warning to travellers about the ash cloud. I guess I'll get on the plane, if it isn't cancelled. Should I be worried about this? | ||
I'm flying from Port Vila to Sydney next Thursday so if you're worried I should be too - I'm not. At the moment the ash cloud is only affecting a fairly localised area and as far as I know, hasn't affected flights into or out of Port Vila. Here's what the local newspaper is reporting. Rest assured that they're keeping a close eye on it and I'm sure they won't risk their planes or passengers. | 1 | |
Thanks Colin, cheers. | 2 | |
