Iceland Volcanic Eruption: As of 15 April 2010:

1. Due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland and the subsequent ash cloud moving through European airspace, travellers to Europe and Scandinavian countries are urged to make contact with their travel agencies or flight representatives in order to confirm departures of their booked scheduled flights. This is in view of reports of the cancellation of numerous flights across Europe.
   
   
2. London Heathrow is reported closed and a number of flights cancelled. There is no clear indication of when normal operations will resume.
   
   
3. Travellers are urged to register their travel on the Department’s voluntary Registration of South Africans Abroad (ROSA) software at http://www.dfa.gov.za/consular/index.html and click on the  button to access the web form.
