Volcanic ash from Ethiopia messes with Indian flights

India Nov 25, 2025

The Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia just erupted for the first time in about 12,000 years, sending a huge ash cloud all the way to India.
By November 25, flights across states like Gujarat, Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana started feeling the impact.

What this means for travelers

The IMD quickly sent out alerts to airports and airlines are now adjusting routes to dodge the ash.
If you're flying today, expect possible delays or detours until the ash moves out of Indian airspace—likely by this evening as winds push it toward China.
