EASA is monitoring the situation in Iceland regarding potential eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano. In the event of an eruption and development of an ash cloud, the Agency will work with other aviation actors to assess the impact for aviation and make recommendations accordingly.

The EASA webpage Volcanic Ash (https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/domains/safety-management/volcanic-ash) gives information on the 2010 eruption and actions subsequently taken. EASA will be updating this page as appropriate in the context of the current situation. Please see also SIB 2010-17R7 (https://ad.easa.europa.eu/ad/2010-17R7), last updated in 2015, containing relevant general information on this topic.
