Hayli Gubbi Volcano Erupts After 12,000 Years, Disrupts Flights Across India
#hayligubbi #volcaniceruption #ethiopia #shorts
Ethiopia’s long-dormant Hayli Gubbi volcano erupted on Sunday for the first time in recorded history, ending a 12,000-year slumber and sending shockwaves across continents. The eruption in northern Ethiopia unleashed ash plumes soaring 14 kilometers high, which traversed the Red Sea toward Yemen and Oman before drifting over India on Monday night.
Ash Cloud Paralyzes Indian Skies
By 11 PM Monday, the volcanic ash cloud engulfed Delhi and spread across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Haryana. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) swiftly issued advisories, urging airlines to reroute flights, adjust fuel plans, and strictly avoid ash-affected zones. The hazardous ash poses severe risks to aircraft engines, navigation systems, and visibility.
Flight Chaos: Over a Dozen Cancelations
- Air India scrapped 11 domestic and international flights between November 24–25, including key routes like Newark-Delhi, New York-Delhi, Dubai-Hyderabad, and Dammam-Mumbai. Precautionary checks were ordered for planes exposed to ash.
- Akasa Air suspended all flights to/from Jeddah, Kuwait, and Abu Dhabi for two days, citing safety concerns.
When Will Skies Clear?
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) initially predicted clearance by 7:30 PM Tuesday but later confirmed most ash had exited India by 8:30 PM. However, lingering traces persist over northeastern regions.
Why This Eruption Matters
Scientists warn that the reactivation of Hayli Gubbi—a volcano with no prior historical eruptions—could signal renewed geological activity in Ethiopia’s volcanic rift. Authorities globally are monitoring ash dispersion models to mitigate further travel chaos.
