One of the big problems is volcanic ash being thrown high up in the atmosphere.
This ash consist of minerals and metals and as of such is very hard.
When planes move through this at high velocities, it will cause a lot of friction.
This friction works much the same as industrial sanding of objects.
It strips materials of protective layers of paint.
It also is a big problem regarding the windows. These will become mattened and visibility through them is greatly reduced.
The ash will also get into the engines and cause extra wear and tear. The ash may also clot together inside the engines, this of which may cause malfunction.
Metallic partickles in the ash may even cause shortcuts in electric circuitry onboard planes. We would not want electronics onboard planes to malfunction would we.
