Didn't find a post on it but last years I allready happens and we had a lot of problem in the air traffic. And now it's a heavier explosion.

 
There's plenty of news stories about this, like this one from BBC :

Air traffic over northern Germany is returning to normal after being disrupted by volcanic ash from Iceland.

Planes are once again taking off from and landing at Hamburg, Bremen and Berlin airports after they closed for several hours.

Actually, the eruption isn't as bad as the one last year.

In another BBC story :

The eruption of the Grimsvotn volcano in Iceland is huge, but it is not expected to cause the kind of disruption we saw last year when Eyjafjallajokull blew its top.

The Eyjafjallajokull eruption, in April 2010, caused the largest closure of European airspace since World War II, with losses estimated at between 1.5bn and 2.5bn euros (£1.3-2.2bn).

Experts say the material produced this time is likely to be in the form of larger grains that will fall out of the atmosphere much faster.
