Angel Affects jet engines but......

Hello, I've not been on here for a very long while, I would like to ask any of the qualified PPL's or commercial pilots on here whether or not the ash particles would substantially affect a prop plane of any kind as a pose to a jet engined plane?

If it would not, i presume because a prop is a completely different process than a jet engine, do the airline companies not have any form of contingency process whereby they can use larger multi prop planes instead, similar to the ones that, for example, British Airways use for some regional uk flights etc?.

Just a thought.

Kind Regards to you all

Nathan.
