8.14am: Some flights have taken off from Scottish airports but London will have to wait, according to the latest statement from the air traffic control group Nats.

Scottish airspace reopened at 7am, amid warnings of a fresh cloud of ash heading towards the UK.

Yet despite the lifting of restrictions, only a handful of domestic flights have left Scottish airports today.

Meanwhile, Nats said the situation was "worsening" in some areas, but it said other airspace could be available over England from 1pm - but not including the main London airports.

Nats said in a statement: "The volcano eruption in Iceland has strengthened and a new ash cloud is spreading south and east towards the UK.

"This demonstrates the dynamic and rapidly changing conditions in which we are working.

"Latest information from the Met Office shows that the situation is worsening in some areas."

However, British Airways has already cancelled all short-haul flights set for today, based on the latest information about the volcanic ash cloud.

The airline said it hoped to run long-haul flights scheduled to depart after 4pm, depending on a "full and permanent" opening of airspace.

It urged passengers to check flight details on ba.com before leaving for the airport.

BA said customers booked to travel on a cancelled flight would be able to claim a full refund or rebook their trip for a later date, the firm said.
