Ethiopia's Hayli Gubbi volcano, dormant for nearly 10,000 years, erupted Sunday, sending ash clouds toward India at 130 kmph. The plume entered through western Rajasthan Monday night, reaching Delhi by 11 pm before drifting toward China. India Meteorological Department predicted clearance by Tuesday evening at 7:30 pm. The ash, positioned between 25,000-45,000 feet, prompted DGCA to issue urgent advisories mandating strict avoidance of affected airspace. Multiple flight cancellations followed: IndiGo's Kochi-Dubai, Akasa Air's Kochi-Jeddah, and KLM's Amsterdam-Delhi services were suspended. Airlines including Air India, SpiceJet, and Akasa closely monitored conditions. While experts noted minimal ground-level health risks, unusual sunrise colors were expected Tuesday, with light ash precipitation possible across northern India.
