BRUSSELS, May 11 (Reuters) - The area affected by volcanic ash from Iceland is expected to move northeast on Tuesday, May 11, afternoon, cutting across the Iberian peninsula and into southeast France, European air traffic agency Eurocontrol said.
The ash cloud was impacting southern and central Spain as well as Portugal including the Canary Islands and Madeira on Tuesday morning, the agency said in a statement.
The areas of high ash concentration on high altitudes in the middle of the North Atlantic were dispersing, however, easing the previously difficult situation for transatlantic flights, Eurocontrol said.
