Volcanic ash clouds disrupt flights across India

Air travel in India has faced disruptions after a volcanic ash plume from Ethiopia drifted toward northern India.

Several flights were cancelled, and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued an urgent advisory to airlines and airports.

IndiGo cancelled at least six domestic



and international flights, while Akasa Air suspended its flights to Jeddah, Kuwait and Abu Dhabi for November 24 and 25.

“Following the recent eruption of the #HayliGubbi volcano in #Ethiopia, ash clouds are reported to be drifting towards parts of western India,” IndiGo said in a post on social media platform X.
