Due to the extreme abrasiveness of the ash particles, aircraft will be seriously endangered by the ash cloud that results from Mount Spurr blowing.
Windscreens, fuselage surfaces, compressor fan blades, and even the plane’s engine may be rapidly damaged while flying through an ash cloud.
Important operational and navigational equipment may potentially malfunction as a result of ash particles.
All of this indicates that flying an aircraft during a nearby volcanic explosion is very risky. As a result, every airport in the ash cloud’s impacted regions will have to close.
ANC is a key cargo hub because of its ideal location for transiting freight between Asia and North America.
Deliveries for manufacturing, e-commerce, and freight shipments may all be delayed by even minor problems at this airport.
