My folks remember the amazing sunsets for months after the Krakatoa eruption - on the other side of the world. Volcanoes are a bloody big deal.

Also, what do you think happens when a dust cloud goes through a jet engine at the speed of sound? Ever been in a sand storm?

Completely different case, desert sand is round while volcano ash is very rough and abrasive. It actually happened before when a 747 flew through volcanic ash over Indonesia

Oops. Terribly sorry. Was that my volcano or yours? I beg your pardon. Won't happen again.

It must be Global Warming.

Say, how about we just move Great Britain further South and West? Since islands float as per Hank Johnson's prophecy, it should be fairly simple.
