00:00Flight operations across northern India were impacted on Monday because of an environmental
00:28event that occurred thousands of kilometers away in Ethiopia.
00:38Sounds unbelievable, right?
00:40But this is exactly what happened as Ethiopia's Haley Gaby volcano erupted on Sunday for the
00:47first time in over 10,000 years, sending thick plumes of smoke and ash miles into the sky.
00:58With the winds blowing eastward, the ash and smoke cloud is stretching across the Red Sea
01:04towards Yemen and Oman and is already reaching the northern and western frontiers of India.
01:12An advisory was earlier issued to deal with possible disruptions due to the ash plume,
01:18and the impact could be seen as several flights were cancelled on Monday when the smoke cloud
01:23reached parts of Rajasthan and even Haryana.
01:27Acasa Air, Indigo and KLM are among the airlines that cancelled some of their flights due to
01:34the volcanic ash problem.
01:38The Directorate General of Civil Aviation, or the DGCA, has instructed airlines to avoid
01:45ash-affected areas and adjust flight planning, routing and fuel considerations based on the
01:51latest advisories.
01:54Airlines have also been asked to immediately report any suspected ash encounter, including
02:01engine performance anomalies or cabin smoke or odor.
02:07If volcanic ash affects airport operations, then the operator must immediately inspect runways,
02:13taxiways and aprons, the DGCA said.
02:18Operators have been asked to continuously monitor the situation related to the volcanic ash cloud
02:24and stay updated through satellite imagery and meteorological data.
02:29According to the weather forecast, these plumes of smoke are likely to move over Delhi over the
02:34next few hours and could further plummet the already hazardous air quality in Delhi and its neighbouring areas.
