    You'd think they would have immediately begun making other arrangements as soon as it became clear that the volcano might disrupt their travel plans.

    Call me crazy, but I think an 18 hour boat trip from England to Denmark would be pretty fucking cool too.

    Hell he could train on the trip over.

    Was anyone on here going over for this?

    Are they having to rethink their travel plans now?

    Kesslers promoters have said Froch wont use it as an excuse because they will personally fly him over in a helicopter if they have to.

    Cant see the logic there though, the reason planes arent flying is because the ash will clog the engines. Do they think helicopters fly just by will

    Not an expert in the subject but helicopters fly a lot lower than planes so it might go under the ash.

    Don't think thats the case, I believe the ash is problematic for planes because it will get sucked through the turbines and corrode them or something. Chopper blades I doubt would be affected, there are all kinds of coniditions that Helicopters can fly in which planes can't.

    A quick google search leads me to conclude that helicoptors were grounded too, with the exception of air and sea rescue, but that they can fly in some cases becuase of the lower altitude.

    There is no way a helicoptor would happily fly through an ash cloud though imo. They would keep well under.

    Isn't the entire airspace closed though? I know it is over Norway I would imagine that extends to Denmark.
