Amazing video shows European aviation “rebooted” after Volcanic disruption

Airspace Rebooted from ItoWorld on Vimeo.

Yesterday, we showed you the effects of the Icelandic volcano in a stunning infographic – and today you can see the effects the disruption had on the European airspace.

This is one mesmerizing video – it shows the “reboot” of air traffic, essentially going from a zero-flights state, to what can be considered a “normal” day.

The effect is amazing – you can clearly see the entire United Kingdom and Western Europe shut down (give or take one or two flights), then slowly growing. Be sure to check the date slider on the bottom left to get an idea of the duration of the disruption.
