All flights in and out of Barcelona's El Prat and 16 other Spanish airports have been grounded due to a plume of volcanic ash drifting across Europe emanating from a volcanic eruption near the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland.

That means ash is still coming out from the volcano into the airspace.

The good news is the wind had blown away the ash from some airspace.

Some airspace and airport is now open!

The bad news is the ash is blown away to other airspace that was clear before.
