So what happens to all the US<>Asia flights that might go through the affected area? Do they take more fuel and take a longer route, stop somewhere to top up the tanks (given that I know there are 14hr sectors that must be close to range limits) or just cancel them?

What does it do for your ETOPS if the diversion airport for a particular area is under the ash cloud?
