Latest State of European Airports

A number of countries are looking forward to re-opening their airspace as a considerably heated debate has begun between various interested parties about safety.
Among the countries which opened their airspace today are Austria, which was concluded free of ash, and The Netherlands, which opened its airspace on its own verdict.
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines yesterday misinformed the public by repeatedly stating their VFR ferry flights as test flights, which started a huge media backlash against the airspace closure.
However, scientists from Wiltshire and ETH Zurich state that the airspace has heavy particles between FL80-100 and that an opening of airspace ( specifically in UK and Switzerland ) could prove to be dangerous.
Germany, as of now, appears to have opened its airspace too, possibly on its own verdict.
A number of aviation engineering experts are worried over the fact that the ash dust poses a real threat to aircraft Pitot tubes and static ports. Ash could clog them up and owing to the fact that there is no method to test these devices against ash, it could result in a fatal accident. A number of fatal accidents have been caused by covered or damaged Pitot tubes such as Aero Peru 601. Pitot tube damage is also considered to have contributed to the Air France 447 crash.
