Airline operations in India are facing disruptions due to volcanic ash from Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi eruption, which is traveling at 100-120 km/h and affecting regions including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi, and Punjab. The DGCA has advised airlines to avoid ash-affected airspace, leading to flight cancellations and modifications by carriers like IndiGo and Akasa Air. Airports are instructed to inspect for ash contamination and restrict operations if necessary. The eruption, marking the first activity from a dormant volcano in nearly 10,000 years, began on Sunday, impacting air travel across parts of West Asia as well.
