Guys come on, what can an MP realistically do when dealing with a Volcano and the winds?
Don't you see that there is no human solution for now, we just need to be optimistic and wait.
Planes cannot fly in that ash. Full stop.
MPs can step in later on if the industry needs to be helped, drastic measures might be needed, even re-nationalisation of carriers in the worst case scenario.
All economies need aviation to survive and compete.
I agree that this is steadily becoming the biggest danger to aviation in history, 9/11 is peanuts compared to this event.
The most scary aspect is that the volcano is still very active, the area is active, and this event could carry on for many weeks if not months, and even if prevailing winds will change direction soon the problem will move somewhere else.
