In this Wednesday, April 21, 2010 file photo, an aerial view showing a plume of ash rising from the volcano in southern Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier. The Irish Aviation Authority decided to impose a “no-fly zone” over Ireland on Monday, May 3, 2010, under advice from the Volcanic Ash Advice Centre in London that there was a risk of “ash ingestion” to aircraft engines. Ireland is due to reopen its airspace Tuesday afternoon, due to the threat from volcanic ash fading, but authorities say air travelers to Ireland face a "summer of uncertainty" because of the long-running Icelandic eruption.
