The latest volcanic eruption in Iceland has caused a number of flight cancellations with the threat of further disruption if the ash cloud spreads into the UK and, possibly, other parts of Europe. So what the rights of those passengers who may be forced to cancel holidays?

What are my basic rights?

You have a contract with the airline to get you from A to B. So that means the airline should try to re-route your journey.

Passengers have been told contact their airline, travel agent or airport before they travel if they think they might be affected.

If they are affected, passengers can generally choose to have a refund or to change to another flight. Airlines are usually quite swift to give refunds and should not charge an administration fee.

When things are moving again, those rebooked on more expensive flights will not have to pay the difference.

What happens if I am stranded and trying to get home?

If a flight is cancelled, or delayed for more than five hours, in Europe, there are strict European rules in place, which mean that the airline is obliged to provide assistance at the airport. This includes supplying meals and refreshments, along with accommodation if an overnight stay is required.

This also applies to people who are booked on flights within the UK.

People flying into the European Union from overseas are also covered by the rules, as long as they are travelling on a European airline. Passengers on non-EU carriers leaving from an EU airport are also covered.

Other key points include:

• There should be no time limit on their provision of accommodation and food, even though it adds to the financial pressure on airlines
• If passengers have organised their own return travel or hotel stays, they should apply to the airline for the money back when they return. But if these are costs are “unreasonable” then the airline will not pay. Alternative return transport organised by airlines will be safest as there will be no need to pay out and claim back
• Those flying on non-EU carriers, from outside the EU, are entitled to a refund or to be rebooked under alternative regulations, but will probably have to make a claim to their insurance company for hotel and food costs
• Those on “codesharing flights” get the rights given to passengers of the airline they booked with. For example, a passenger flying into the UK on a American Airlines flight, but who actually booked with BA and has a BA flight number will get the same rights as a BA passenger

If the situation worsens and passengers end up stranded overseas, it is worth them keeping expenditure on continuing stays to a minimum and then making a claim to the airline.

Rights will apply to future flights, even if passengers book now and find there is still disruption weeks from now.

Does the airline look after me if I have two single tickets?

This has been a source of discussion with the emergence of budget airlines.

However, the EU rules on assistance apply equally to any journey, whether one-way or part of a return ticket.

Technically speaking, the airlines should arrange and pay for the hotel and meal costs for passengers while they wait for the new flights.

Those who have single tickets and miss a return flight with one airline because their outbound flight with another airline is cancelled might not get a refund for the return flight.

How long is this expected to last, and what about insurance?

That depends on the ash situation and the disruption is changing minute-by-minute.

The disruption still remains relatively low-scale, and travel insurance is not supposed to duplicate what the airlines should offer automatically.

Some travel insurance policies will pay out if a holiday, with its associated costs such as hotels, is cancelled owing to the flight problems. However, this depends on the small print so it is worth looking at your policy.

Previous eruptions caused some providers to offer insurance policies that specifically protected against ash cloud disruption.

Package holidays have their own protection. Operators must refund customers for the whole holiday if trips are cancelled, meaning they could not get to their destination.

In reality, operators tend to give three options to people on package deals. They are: deferring the leaving date of the holiday, transferring to another holiday of the same or similar value, or a refund of the amount paid for the whole holiday.

There is also a potential claim to your credit card provider if you booked using your card.

Volcanic ash air shutdown the ‘right’ decision
By Paul Rincon Science reporter, BBC News

Volcanic Ash Cloud

Concerns about aircraft safety during the eruption of an Icelandic volcano in 2010 were well founded, according to a new scientific study.

Ash particles from the early phase of the eruption were small and abundant, posing a potential threat to aircraft flying through the cloud.

Such particles could have melted inside jet engines, potentially causing them to fail mid-flight.

The work by an Icelandic-Danish team is published in PNAS journal.

“The particles were so small they travelled a longer distance from the volcano and remained in the area where the airplanes fly for a much longer time” – Susan Stipp University of Copenhagen

The analysis also reveals that ash particles from early in the eruption were particularly sharp and abrasive.

The outpour of ash from Eyjafjallajokull caused the largest closure of European airspace since World War II, with losses estimated at between 1.5bn and 2.5bn euros.

Some 10 million travellers were affected by the shutdown.

The latest research was carried out by researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and the University of Iceland in Reykjavik.

Senior author Susan Stipp, from Copenhagen University, told BBC News: “I think the really important parts of it are: Number one, the aviation authorities were absolutely right in closing airspace.

“Number two, we have presented a protocol so that, if answers are needed quickly in future, they can be had.

“Then the data that are produced can be put into models to determine how far, how high and how wide the ash will spread that will be based more on fact than on guesswork.”

The researchers analysed the sizes and structures of ash particles using a variety of techniques, such as atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.

Ash samples from the early phase of the eruption (L) contained large quantities of fine dust compared with ash from later in the eruption (R)

They compared ash that was ejected in the early, explosive phase of the eruption with ash from a later, more typical eruption of the volcano.

“There’s no way they could have allowed those aircraft to keep flying when it first happened… The amount of time it took to get going again is debatable” – Stewart John Fellow, Royal Academy of Engineering

The ash ejected in the early phase was light and powdery. The more typical ash thrown out in the later stages was more granular, with the consistency of dry sand.

“The ash that was ejected in the first few days was so fine-grained because it was produced by an explosive eruption,” Dr Stipp told BBC News.

“The meltwater from the glacier on top of the volcano ran down into the crater, chilling the magma and then the pressure from underneath caused an explosion. So the particles of ash were very fine-grained and very sharp compared to normal ash.

“The smaller the particles, the slower they come back down again. Normal ash is usually settled as it moves away from the volcano. But because the particles were so small, they travelled a longer distance from the volcano and remained in the area where the airplanes fly for a much longer time.”

Modern aircraft engines operate at temperatures of around 2,000C. Dr Stipp says the glassy particles in the ash cloud start to soften at about 800C.

“By 1,000C, they are melted. And because they are so small, they melt faster. It’s like when you have a drink with one big ice cube. The ice cube will stay around, but when you crush it, it melts quickly,” she explained.

Stewart John, an expert on aircraft safety and a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, told BBC News: “There’s no way they could have allowed those aircraft to keep flying when it first happened. That was absolutely the right, safe decision, because no one knew any better.

But he added: “The amount of time it took to get going again is debatable.”

In 1982, a British Airways 747 flew through an ash cloud during the eruption of Mount Galunggung in Indonesia. The ash sandblasted all the surfaces of the aircraft and caused all four jet engines to cut out when the melted ash coated their interior.

Luckily for the 263 passengers and crew, the pilot was able to re-start three of the engines after they cooled during descent. He was able to land by peeking through a 2-inch strip on the side window that had avoided sandblasting.

“I saw those engines when they were stripped down and it was quite frightening,” said Mr John.

“There is no way you can fly through it if it’s thick and dense. On the other hand, even when you try to avoid it, it’s there in the atmosphere and it causes progressive damage [to the aircraft].

“But you can live with that because you can monitor it.”

Easyjet has unveiled a system that it says will allow airlines to safely fly around ash clouds.

It involves infra-red technology that allows pilots to see the damaging particles up to 62 miles ahead.

The theory is that a pilot can then change course and continue to fly safely.

It has the support of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the body that decides whether it is safe to fly through ash in UK airspace.

The CAA said it was happy an airline appeared to have found a technical solution, and, although it was not endorsing the product, it would do what it could to help certification.

‘Silver bullet’

Earlier this year, many air passengers had their travel plans wrecked when airlines had to scrap thousands of flights due to the Icelandic volcanic ash problem.

The CAA faced criticism from some airlines, who argued that the body had been overly cautious.

AVOID: The Theory

Easyjet’s proposed Avoid system will work in theory by spotting ash at sufficient distances to allow air traffic controllers enough time to re-plan flight paths. It will also act as a “spy in the sky” – giving traffic control extra detail on any ash clouds that are out there. The device, which works using infra-red technology but essentially looks like another radar in the cockpit, is light, small and easy to install.

It differs from an existing ash measuring device, a Lidar, used by the Met Office, which at one stage was also suggested as a way to enable aircraft to avoid ash. A Lidar essentially looks only in the direction you point it in, and needs time to draw an informative picture.
Can aircraft dodge volcanic ash?

Easyjet chief executive, Andy Harrison, said: “This pioneering technology is the silver bullet that will make large-scale ash disruption history.”

The new system, called Airborne Volcanic Object Identifier and Detector (Avoid), will be tested by Airbus on behalf of Easyjet within the next two months.

Easyjet, which is spending £1m ($1.47m) on the system, says it is happy for rivals to share its knowledge.

Mr Harrison, said: “What we don’t want to do is to gain a commercial advantage over other airlines so we can fly and they can’t. We are not going to exclude people from this technology.”

He said the hardest part would be to get approval from European authorities.

Ash damage

Easyjet said the volcanic ash disruption had cost it up to £75m,

Its passenger figures for last month, showed 215,000 of its own passengers had their travel plans disrupted because of volcanic ash and 1,600 flights were cancelled.

Despite the impact of the ash cloud, the expansion of the no-frills airline meant that it still flew 7.9% more people in May than a year ago.

The average load factor of the plane, an important measure of airline efficiency, was 85.8% compared with 83.5% in May 2009.

A total of 4.25 million people took a flight with Easyjet in May, up from 3.95 million last year.

Flybe will be the first airline in the UK to be able to fly within the new CAA approved safe levels of volcanic ash. The CAA called upon the industry to bring forward thoroughly researched proposals to safely improve the ability to fly in the vicinity of low level volcanic ash concentrations. Flybe worked closely with the Met Office, Bombadier and Pratt & Whitney their engine manufacturers in Canada to develop the proposals.

This means that all travellers will be less affected by any future ash clouds coming our way. If the new rules had been in place when the ash cloud first came across UK and European airspace, far fewer flights would have been affected. This means that the delays that affected thousands of passengers when the ash first arrived are less likely to affect so many in the near future.

Volcanic Ash Cloud

In 1982, a British Airways flight from Kuala Lumpur to Perth, Australia, passed through an ash cloud that had just erupted out of a volcano in Indonesia. One by one, each of the engines on the jumbo jet shut down, and the plane began to dive toward the ground. Disaster was averted only when the pilot managed to glide below the ash cloud, clearing the engines; the flight was able to make an emergency landing in Jakarta.

Volcanic ash, which is made up of sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen fluoride, along with fine silica particles, may not block pilots’ sight lines, but its chemicals can wreck sensitive aircraft engines.

The debris can interfere with sensors that indicate if the fuel system is too hot or cold. In the case of volcanic ash, it seems that it leaves sensors indicating an aircraft is too cool, and will cause overheating.

The eruption ejected the plume, which is made up of fine rock particles, up to 11km into the atmosphere.
Clouds of volcanic ash can act similar to a sand storm, and be blinding for the pilots.

Weather radar cannot pick up volcanic ash as the particles are so fine, so it makes it exceedingly difficult to avoid in the air.

“Air traffic restrictions have very properly been applied,” said Dr Rothery (a volcano researcher from the UK’s Open University). “If volcanic ash particles are ingested into a jet engine, they accumulate and clog the engines with molten glass.”

Effects of Volcanic Ash on Jet Engine

As the ash cloud spewing out of the Icelandic volcano continues to create worldwide travel chaos, many travelers are finding themselves stuck in transit with no end in sight, forced to find accommodation, meals and so forth for days on end.

Who pays for that? Do you have to? Is this considered an act of God and thus not covered by various rules and regulations?

Not on your life!

European rules are very clear about passenger rights in this kind of situation and if anyone, passengers or airlines, were in any doubt about it, European Commission Vice President Siim Kallas responsible for Transport, has issued this statement:

“…even in exceptional circumstances EU passenger rights continue to apply and air travelers should speak up to claim their rights.
“This is a situation which is causing immense difficulties for passengers traveling throughout Europe. It can be considered a very exceptional circumstance. Nevertheless, it is important to remind passengers and airlines that EU passenger rights do apply in this situation:

* the right to receive information from airlines (e.g. on your rights, on the situation as it evolves, cancellations and length of delays)
* the right to care (refreshments, meals, accommodation as appropriate)
* the right to chose between reimbursement of fares or being re-routed to final destination.”

The statement made clear, however, that “in an exceptional circumstance such as this” passengers would not be entitled to additional financial compensation as the delays or cancellations are not the fault of the airline.

EU regulations apply to all passengers, regardless of their citizenship when:

* traveling within the EU on a carrier registered in any country.
* traveling anywhere on a carrier owned by an EU company.
