Airlines say ash cloud restrictions are embarrassing

From a report at the link below:

Comprehensive restrictions on flights across Europe resulting from volcanic ash floating over from Iceland are an “embarrassment”, an airline chief has claimed, as calls intensify for the no fly ban to be lifted.



A number of European carriers have run test flights which they say have identified no problems operating in areas closed by the authorities. British Airways said one of its planes encountered "perfect" conditions between Heathrow and Cardiff airport.

Does this mean airlines will begin flying out of Europe soon? Thousands of stranded travelers hope so!
