Volcanic Advisory

Looking at the latest Volcanic Advisory from VAAC

Volcanic Ash Graphics 5

The aviation code is RED and under the FAQ,

Red Alert:
Eruption is underway with significant emission of ash into the atmosphere.

Wadd (BALI) and Warr (Juanda) is affected.

Base on this info given to operators, how do you decide if its safe or not safe to fly to those airports?

I'm sorry if it sounds noob but I'm just trying to find out more how airlines use this info.

Last i checked, some airlines are still flying into Wadd and Warr and its obvious with that advisory those airports are affected. Affected to what extend? I don't know ...but its Code RED .

I'm here to learn . Thank you.
