Now that airlines are allowed to fly through some of the ash clouds providing the engine manufacturer has certified their engines are up to the task, where will the liability lie if there is (perish the thought) an incident?
First question - how would anyone prove the ash concentration that caused such an incident was above or below whatever (arbitrary) level was stated to be safe. Not being flippant but the evidence has a tendency to blow away.... i.e. the ash cloud itself.
