Eurocontrol estimates that about 4,000 flights will take off on Sunday. There were 24,965 last Sunday. More than 20,000 European flights are expected to be canceled on Sunday, European air traffic control officials said.
-- Scandinavian airline SAS canceled all flights over north European air space on Sunday and Monday. It said a few domestic flights will operate in Norway. Flights departing from the United States on Sunday are not canceled but may be rerouted to Norway.
-- There are restrictions on civil flights across most of northern and central Europe. This swath includes Austria, Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, most of France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, northern Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
-- Upper air space has been made available in some of these restricted areas, depending on the observed and forecast area of ash contamination, air traffic officials said.
-- British air space remains closed at least until 1 a.m. local time on Monday (8 p.m. ET on Sunday), the National Air Traffic Services said. Some flights may be possible out of the remote islands of Orkney and Shetland, off the north coast of Scotland, the agency said.
