An aerospace expert says about volcanic ash in Northern Ireland

The Volcano ash problem looks pretty bad. As an aerospace expert I say we should thank the Russian airline which showed it can be done. It has done us a favor and demonstrated that it is SAFE to fly underneath the cloud of volcanic ash. However it means a lot more fuel has to use because of the higher air resistance at low levels. If the volcano keep spewing out ash like now for months there is no choice but to fly below the cloud of ash. Qantas please take note and put up a big fuel surcharge for flights to Europe!! You may even have to make new stopovers to top the extra fuel needed.
