This could be a disaster for the airline industry for obvious reasons, especially because this eruption and the resulting ash cloud could last for weeks or even months!
I'm scheduled to go to Manchester, England on May 1st. Now I have no idea what's going to happen. You have to love Mother Nature!
Iceland's volcanic ash halts flights across Europe - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100415/ap_on_bi_ge/eu_iceland_volcano - broken link)
I hope it doesn't last for months. Bad enough I have to worry about BA going out on strike the same week I fly to Heathrow but now Mother Nature's adding her 10 cents worth of awkwardness?! Oh well, not much one can do except be thankful nobody's been hurt.

The thing about volcanoes is that you don't know how long or how much they are going to spew, or even if they are going to explode and sink the whole island. It is possible that European air travel will be affected for months, and weather changes are likely all over the world. It's not good news.
All airports are shut in the UK, Ireland, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark.... at least until tomorrow morning, probably longer.
