Eyjafjallajökull.
Boiling hot magma spurts out of the top and flows down the volcano's side, sometimes producing an ash cloud, like Eyjafjallajokull, Iceland in 2010.
The timing for volcanic ash to settle after an eruption can vary depending on the size of the eruption, wind patterns, and altitude. Typically, the ash can remain in the atmosphere for days to weeks before settling on the ground. It is advised to follow updates from local authorities and meteorological agencies for specific information on the Iceland volcano.
The time it takes for a volcano to calm down can vary depending on the size and type of eruption. It can take anywhere from days to months for a volcano to fully settle down after an eruption. The volcano's activity will gradually decrease as it moves from an eruptive phase to a more dormant state.
The lava flowed down the volcano and gas got in the side vents
lava!
It shot up tones of ash into the atmosphere, which caused the rest of Europe to shut down its airlines.
iceland, the eruption shut down airports for miles because of the ash
The ash from the volcano made planes crash as it got stuck in the fan thingy :P so planes had to be stopped around Europe for 2 wees until it calmed down :/
Shield volcanoes erupt all the time - in fact, a volcano may be erupting as I type this answer! Considering this, I am not able to give you an accurate answer.
lots of people were affected by the eruption because they were stuck in airports also the nature was affected because the tree's were burnt down by the lava. : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : )

The smoke when up in the air obviously and planes to Europe and to America were shut down. Many people were stuck in Europe or America
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.
It was reported that because of technical difficulties, Facebook was down in parts of Europe, Africa and Iceland on Wednesday March 7, 2012.
Some of the biggest ones include: Iceland. Ireland. Britain. Sardinia. Sicilly. Greenland. Spitsbergen. Corsica. Crete. Zealand.
If you mean today, as in the 21st of April, 2010. No it's not. All Northern French airports are shut until further notice. Pretty much all of Northern Europe, except for the northern areas of Sweden, Norway, the UK and all of Iceland (ironically) are shut. The United Kingdom is more or less completely shut down, as is Germany
If ash gets into the engine, especially if it's a jet, the engines can be disabled and the plane will lose power and (probably) crash. A recent example is the ash from the Iceland volcano which shut down air traffic all over Europe. Even if it is only a prop, the ash can get into the turbine and do pretty much the same thing. Helicopters are even more vulnerable.
