Wasn't there another problem this time, that the eruption site is close to the geothermal plant that powers Keflavik?

At least that would only affect traffic from/to Iceland and not half of Europe though.

Iceland has a small population and a large power grid. They can survive a lot of power generation failing before things like airports start losing power.
