In history this has happened before, in the 17th century one Icelandic volcano was active for over a year blasting ashes in to the sky and caused a climatic change for several years.

That one halted air traffic for 400 years!


I still have a jar of Mount Saint Helens ash that my parents collected years back during a trip when they got stranded in the same airport shutdown situation. It's part of my daughter's geology collection now.

My wife and I are flying into Paris,I hope,on the 24th.I'm a bad flyer as it is.Didn't think I'd be worrying about volcano ash though.Plan on going up to Normandy and visiting Juno and Omaha beaches.And pay my respects at the cemetaries.
