Nobody will question the danger of "Flying into Volcanic ash" BUT:

When we are talking about area "affected" by Volcanic ash..WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT...Wich concentration or density..???
i THINK THE CLOSURE OF THE AIRSPACE IS NOTHING BUT A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE AS NOBODY KNOWNS....

We are flying every year through sand storm in the middle east without any closure of airspace or airport with visibilty as low as ..500m even less..(very HIGH concentration of sand ).
So My QUESTION IS: WICH ONE IS WORST FOR THE ENGINE:..FLYING THROUGH THE EUROPEAN BLUE SKY WITH A VERY VERY LOW CONCENTRATION OF VOLCANIC ASH PARTICLES HERE AND THERE OR FLYING INTO A SAND STORM??
