"The major barrier to resuming flight has been understanding tolerance levels of aircraft to ash," the CAA said."Manufacturers have now agreed increased tolerance levels in low ash density areas."
"Manufacturers have now agreed increased tolerance levels in low ash density areas."
Maybe I'm misreading this but to me it stinks of "fuck it this is getting out of hand, let's just chance it". The risk hasn't gone down, it's been "reassessed" - meaning they've decided it's now ok to fly the same planes through the same ash.

A visualisation of the northern European airspace returning to use after being closed due to volcanic ash. Due to varying ash density across Europe, the first flights can be seen in some areas on the 18th and by the 20th everywhere is open.

Been stuck in Spain with two flights cancelled since Monday. V weird, you go from anger to acceptance to enjoying more time in the sun (I'm in my parents place so can keep travelling back from airport) to worry about next flight. Work are being good tho and tomorrow is another day. Did get a lovely sunny eve today and a relaxing swim in the sea then pool then shower. Want to be back at work tho!

Thousands flee volcanos in Ecuador and GuatemalaThousands of people have been forced to flee their homes as two volcanos erupted in Guatemala and Ecuador.
In Guatemala, the Pacaya volcano began spewing lava, rocks and debris on Thursday, killing at least two people and injuring more than 50 others.
In Ecuador, the Tungurahua volcano forced the evacuation of seven villages and shut the airport and schools in Guayaquil, the country's largest city.

I'll start: volcanic ash is not fluffy, or smoke. It is pulverized rock/glass/crystals with VERY different hazards. More: https://t.co/T2JCs99zDN pic.twitter.com/iG5EGztZI7— Dr Janine Krippner (@janinekrippner) July 30, 2019
