A significant volcanic eruption in Ethiopia's Afar region has created an ash cloud that is now moving over northern India, resulting in multiple flight cancellations and prompting the DGCA to issue safety advisories to airlines and airports. The Hayli Gubbi volcano, erupting for the first time in nearly 12,000 years, has caused disruptions for carriers including Akasa Air, IndiGo, and KLM as officials monitor the situation closely to ensure passenger safety.
