Take-offs and landings possible at six German airports Frankfurt, Hannover, Erfurt, Leipzig, Berlin-Tegel and Berlin-Schönefeld: Airports temporarily open until 20:00 hrs local time 18/4/2010.- Due to the current development of the weather conditions, the airspace at six of the 16 international airports in Germany can be re-opened. At the airports of Frankfurt, Hannover, Erfurt, Leipzig, Berlin-Tegel and Berlin-Schönefeld, aircraft can take-off and land under certain conditions. The clearance is only granted until 20:00 hrs local time. The decision is based on the forecast of the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) in London, which is operated by the UK's National Weather Service. It is one of nine advisory centres set up by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) around the world. According to the ICAO regulations, the VAAC has to send an updated forecast to the national meteorological services every six hours. This is the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) in Germany, they process the forecasts and issue meteorological warnings. Pilots use the forecasts to prepare for their flights and air traffic control uses them as a basis for their flight clearances. Owing to the information available, DFS cannot clear flights to and from the remaining ten international airports until further notice. Updated on: 18/4, 16.45 hrs
