Yes, in fact the opposite. Air traffic controllers in Iceland were planning a strike, and they've now postponed it because of the eruption, they claim.

- hef19898 3y agoWe are going to Iceland in a coupke of days. Fingers crossed we don't have a strike and an erruption that can be savely photographed.
- hef19898 3y agoReply to myself: This eruption, unlike thebone before it, is not considered "tourist friendly", so no volcano shots. Either way, most important thing is that there are no cassualties and property damage is minimal.
- johngossman 3y agoI am in Iceland now. The ATC strike has been in the morning, delaying flights 4-5 hours but not cancelling them. Flights are still coming in and out today. Last night another guest at our hotel saw the eruption from the plane.
- hef19898 3y agoSeeong an eruption from a plane has to be quite a sight!
- johngossman 3y agoIn light of the eruption, the ATC called off tomorrow’s strike
