The recent eruption of Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano created significant disruptions across several international air routes, prompting major Indian airlines to cancel multiple flights as a precautionary measure. According to the latest update from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the volcanic ash cloud that drifted toward Indian airspace had fully cleared by 10:30 pm on Tuesday, restoring safe flying conditions. However, airlines continue to monitor the situation closely. The unexpected volcanic activity in Ethiopia sent dense ash plumes high into the atmosphere, raising immediate concerns for aviation safety. Volcanic ash can severely damage aircraft engines, reduce visibility, and impact onboard navigation systems, making it hazardous for flight operations. As a result, multiple airlines, including IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa Air, announced temporary cancellations and route adjustments for flights operating on affected international sectors. IndiGo, India’s largest airline, confirmed the cancellation of several flights connecting to destinations in East Africa and West Asia. The airline emphasized that passenger safety remains its highest priority. Air India also issued an advisory, stating that flights scheduled on Tuesday and Wednesday were either cancelled or rerouted to avoid the ash-affected zones. Meanwhile, Akasa Air followed similar safety protocols, suspending certain operations until clearances were received from aviation authorities. While the ash cloud has now moved away from Indian airspace, the impact of the volcanic eruption continues to be felt across global travel networks. Many passengers experienced delays, cancellations, and last-minute itinerary changes, leading airlines to roll out support measures such as free rescheduling and refunds. Airport authorities have advised travellers to regularly check with their airlines for the latest flight status before heading to the airport. The IMD’s confirmation that the ash plume has dissipated offers significant relief, but weather experts warn that volcanic activity remains unpredictable. The eruption of the Hayli Gubbi volcano highlights the broader impact natural events can have on international travel and underscores the importance of robust aviation safety mechanisms. Meteorologists and aviation authorities are continuing to track the region for any further volcanic emissions that could affect flight routes. In addition to aviation, environmental experts are assessing the potential ecological consequences of the eruption. Volcanic ash can affect local air quality, water sources, and agriculture in regions surrounding the volcano. Ethiopian authorities have begun evaluating the fallout and issuing guidelines to ensure the safety of residents living near affected areas. For now, Indian air travel has returned to normalcy, but airlines remain in a state of heightened vigilance. Passengers with upcoming flights on international routes—particularly to Africa and the Middle East—are advised to stay updated through official airline channels. As global aviation adapts to the aftermath of this natural event, authorities continue to prioritize safety while working to minimize inconvenience to passengers.
