The transport ministry said possible closures could continue through Tuesday. The predictions are based on the continuing eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokul volcano and curent wind and weather conditions.
The Met Office, Britain's weather forecaster, said Saturday the wind is expected to change direction Tuesday, which would lower the risks of travel disruptions.
Transport secretary Philip Hammond said five-day forecasts are being published to give airlines and travelers "the best possible information. However, he said the situation "remains fluid and these forecasts are always liable to change."
