EK 225 (DXB-SFO) and EK 215 (DXB-LAX) both diverted to YYZ today. I assume these were ash-related tech stops?

Does anyone know if the stop in YYZ (EK 225 DXB-SFO) and the late departure of EK 226 (SFO-DXB) will become a routine thing during the volcanic event, or is this probably a one time thing ?

Last year it was regular for the few days because they couldn't fly over the poles due to the ash
