New rules to allow planes to fly at higher ash densities for a limited time will be introduced at noon on Tuesday, the Civil Aviation Authority has said.
To fly in the ash zone, airlines will need to get agreement from their aircraft and engine manufacturers.
The authority's move has been welcomed by airlines, regulators and manufacturers.
It comes after heavy criticism of the current no-fly zone system by airline chiefs.
Thousands of passengers have been stranded by the latest raft of flight cancellations following airport closures across the UK.
All restrictions have now been lifted, after the volcanic ash cloud over UK airspace moved away, but knock-on disruption continues.
Airport operators are advising passengers to check for delays to their flights with airlines.
