Volcanic Dust

Extremely unlikely.

If any volcanic dust were present there would glazed pellets in the combustion areas, and pitting of compressor blades. None of this has been reported.

Besides LH has not been near volcanoes of late, yet swapped an engine as result of latest AD

I think RR now has a pretty clear bead on cause & wud be beavering away on a long term rectification
