The volcano is pumping ash to a height of 6.0 km. Ice land is between 64.0 Deg N latitude to 66.5 Deg N Latitude. The mid latitude upper westerly wind take the ash towards east over North Europe and Asia and it will cover the globe. The lower level winds drifts the plume toward SEly. Air crafts flying at this altitude will be badly hit by ash and it may prove hazardous to aircraft engines.To avoid this,they may fly over the level [or below the level]where the atmosphere is NOT affected by the plume.
This will bring impact on weather too.

The volcanic ash problem in Europe is affecting the World Cup T20 schedule in West Indies..Flight operators have agreed to consider operating flights..a big relief for ICC!
