Volcano in Iceland causing delays leaving the USA

[Brit4064]

Because much of northern European airspace has been shutdown due to the Volcano eruption in Iceland, it's possible many Brits here on vacation may be forced to overstay. There is a remedy:

British Embassy in Washington DC

Although this is a link to the British Embassy, the same procedures would apply to other nationals of European countries affected.

Hi,

I just came accross this one also. It's basically a repeat of what Brit posted, but states that people can go to the authorities at the airport.

Brit, I was thinking about you this morning. NBC had a pilot give insight on the ashes and how it is flying through. He was, as they announced, a pilot knowledgeable about commercial and civilian air travel. He had a British accent.

Not that I have ever heard you speak, but I thought about you when I heard him speak.

Was that you?

No it wasn't. There was a quite famous accident involving volcanic ash a few years ago. A BA 747 flew through the ash on its way to Auckland, NZ in 1982 when all 4 engines suddenly stopped:

But they didn't know what they had flown through at the time.

Satisfactory Departure may be obtained at a CBP Deferred Inspection Office. In any event, who has 3 month vacations? No one is being forced to overstay. If you were here for three months you were probably planning to overstay anyway.
