Ethiopia’s volcanic eruption LIVE: Air India cancels flights; conducts inspection of aircraft
India is bracing for potential disruption to air travel with volcanic ash from Sunday’s (November 23, 2025) eruption of Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano forecasted to drift towards mainland India.
The Hayli Gubbi volcano, located in Ethiopia’s Afar region about 800km northeast of Addis Ababa near the Eritrean border, erupted on Sunday (November 23, 2025) for several hours.
The DGCA has issued advisories urging airlines to strictly steer clear of affected altitudes and regions to ensure flight safety as volcanic ash can harm aircraft engines due to its abrasive, glass-like particles that melt at high temperatures. When ash is ingested, it can melt on hot engine components, harden into a glass-like substance, and stick to turbine blades.
