Katla seems to be stirring a little today. What happens to European air transport if it erupts?

Katla has been showing signs of unrest since 1999, and geologists have concerns that it might erupt in the near future.[11] Particularly, monitoring has been intensified following the March 2010 eruptions of a smaller neighbouring volcano - Guðnasteinn - beneath the Eyjafjallajökull glacier.[12] The eruption of this nearby long-dormant volcano in March and April 2010 prompted fears among some geophysicists that it might trigger an eruption at the larger and more dangerous Katla.[13][14][15] In the past 1,000 years, all three known eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull have triggered subsequent Katla eruptions.[

A lot of rumbling today! Looks like something is likely to happen soon.
