A few aircraft incidents that *might* be related to volcanic ash have taken place. Read more here .
Scientists from Wiltshire and ETH Zurich after test flights have concluded that the UK and Swiss skies are still dangerous to fly in and that there are gritty particles between FL80-100.
However, it appears that some airline CEOs are pressing for an opening of airspace to minimise their losses. This is not a very good choice as if an equipment such as a PITOT tube gets damaged, you will be unaware of it till an accident takes place. This is specially so given that the ash concentration in two airspaces could be vastly different. Experts’ opinion is that a test flight by an airline without any measurement equipment onboard does not provide enough evidence to conclude the skies as safe. Wiltshire scientists concluded their test flights using a specially configured Do-228 with equipment to test the ash particles.
A Swiss pilot had posted a photo of FL100 showing a dense, visible, ash cloud over Switzerland.
Latest Volcanic Ash Advisory by London VAAC/ Met Office – 20APR 0000Z
Despite the airspaces being closed, an Ural Airlines A321-200 attempted to fly from Moscow DME to Rimini, Italy, and was forced to divert to Vienna over fuel emergency. The crew reported no abnormalities. Austrian Airlines and Niki, based in Vienna are now demanding a close inspection of the aircraft to see the effect of ash cloud. The aircraft had been flying on FL180. More info here.
The Finnish Air Force F-18s, however, which were on a training activity on 15th, had been affected by the ash dust ( which has 58%SiO2 ), and will probably have to be totally refit with new engines. The photos of destructed engines were posted online today.

[...] Share A Ride — In Germany, we have several Carpool services, which pairs travelers with others looking to share the cost of travel. It may be a bit adventurous, especially for those with no German skills (although, many drivers do speak English), but why be stuck when you can make a new friend and get moving? Either way, I wish all of my readers stuck around Germany the very best as you try to get home. In the meantime, you can book a hotel room (special prices included) and watch the visual map of the ash cloud online or read the latest airport closing updates. [...]
