Volcanic activity can cause aircraft to be grounded. There are a number of reasons, mostly related to the high ash content in the air:

  1. Visibility and the effect on radar tracking.
  2. The abrasive affect on the mechanical parts of the plane
  3. Ashes blocking air filters and air flow
  4. Health issues for those in the plane
