quote AnthonyGA:
"...I don't know if the airlines or other losing parties here are willing to make this sacrifice, but it certainly would be useful if someone did, because this is a perfect opportunity to gather data on the effects of volcanic ash, which would make it far easier to determine what levels of ash (if any) are acceptable for aviation..."

Looks they are already at it - LH´s D-ABTE (b744) just arrived @ FRA after a low level hop from MUC
It might become a busy afternoon for the mx.
