Can, yes. Would, probably not. Pilots are spitting feathers generally at the moment as most believe the no fly ban is far too wide ranging and cautious. Previous incidents such as BA flight 9 have involved aircraft flying through dense clouds of ash in the immediate area of an eruption, not a widely distributed and disparate cloud of ash spread over a very large area.
Very little testing has been done in the past but the EU have conducted test flights today and further test flights are going on tonight over Europe under 'controlled conditions'.
It will be interesting to see what the results are.
