Hi everyone !
I’ve been following the debate on the other thread, but I thought that my question would be more accurate here. Before I ask my question, I would just like to stress that I am not involved in this industry, I’m just a passenger who got interested in this volcanic ash issue. I have no knowledge whatsoever about jet engines.
The topic of this thread being possible ash damages found on aircrafts, I’m surprised that no one has mentioned this event here? Curiously, it has only been related in the Italian press as far as I know. Here’s a link, and basically it says that an Air Berlin Boeing was allegedly found with ash in its engines, and the plane was therefore grounded in Olbia. The Italian press says this has to be confirmed, but no one did it. Does anyone here know something about it? For your information, this happened on the 19th or 20th of April.

Thanks! PS: I hope I'm welcome although I'm not a professional
