Volcanic eruption in Mexico


US airlines cancel dozens flights due to Mexican volcano eruption


RT

More than 40 flights to Mexico have been cancelled by at least 6 US airlines after the Popocatepetl volcano spewed out ash, steam and glowing rocks on Thursday. US Airways, Delta, United, American and Alaska Airlines said they have canceled flights to Mexico City and Toluca airports as a precautionary measure. The airports, which are within 70 kilometers of the volcano, continue to operate normally otherwise, and no ash has reached the area, according to airport officials. The 5,450-meter volcano has recently reached yellow phase two level of activity, and has been spewing hot rock and ash for the last 24 hours.
