How will the dust storms from the Icelandic volcano affect the airports and air flights?

The eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in 2010 caused the mass shutdown and closure of airports across 34 different European nations. Flights from Canada were also canceled. On April 17, no flights to and from Europe were allowed to take place under the instrument flight rules (IFR). From April 18 onward, flight schedules slowly began to return to normal. The eruption triggered the largest air traffic shut-down since World War II. Millions of passengers were stranded all over the world, unable to leave or return to Europe. Airlines suffered large financial losses due to coverage of flight cancellation insurance.
