All the ash in the air up there is too thick right now. When volcanic ash gets into a jet turbine, it can really chew it up and destroy the engine, which is very bad for those on board. On other aircraft, it can clog the air intake and cause the engine to cut out in midair. The money just isn't worth the risk of people losing their lives.
