3. That's the point

All that ash ain't too good on the fans, hence, no flying allowed.

2. Some Airline in Belfast is Being a Contrarian

I guess they're going to the US, but from other maps it must be pretty close to the ash cloud.

6. Y'know, if every other airline was not flying

I don't think I'd get on the only one that was.

7. Ireland is open, and I believe Scotland opened today...

It's a CityJet flight, based out of London City Airport

5. There seems to be a lot missing

Zoom way out and there's nothing in the US except around Portland and Seattle.
