This volcano last erupted in 1821 and it spewed ash for TWO years. So if you are stuck somewhere and waiting expectantly for a resumption of flights in the not too distant future, think again. If the ash density is such that it is unsafe to fly today, it can only become less safe as the ash density continues to build as more and more debris is thrown into the skies over Europe and beyond.
Happy landings and stay safe.
