Scottish airports are expected to reopen on Tuesday.  The European Transit Commissioner expects that there will be more planes flying by tomorrow, but air travel will not completely be back to normal.  The European Union has decided to split air traffic into three zones.  One zones will not be open, the second zone will be open to all flights and the third level will only be open for certain flights.  This will go into effect on Tuesday.
