Why did the volcanic eruption in Iceland stopped flights over in the UK?
Plane engines are like any machine. If you get enough dust in it (or in this case, ash), then they is a high possibility that they may stop working. Whenever there is an eruption, air activity is ceased until it is deemed safe to resume. Even though the volcano was not in the UK, the ash and soot from the volcano, depending on weather conditions, could have easily traveled that far. It is better to be safe and cancel flights than to try and risk it and have engines fail while in the air.
