Mexico: Flight disruptions at Puebla International Airport, Oct. 26 /update 1
Popocatepetl ashfall prompts suspension of operations at Puebla International Airport, Mexico, Oct. 26; flight disruptions likely.
Flight disruptions, including delays and cancellations, are likely to impact Puebla International Airport (PBC), which serves Puebla, over the coming hours after ashfall from the Popocatepetl volcano prompted authorities to temporarily suspend flight operations at the facility from 07:00-11:00 Oct. 26.
Flight backlogs that materialize during the suspension of operations may cause disruptions that persist after operations resume. Further volcanic activity at Popocatepetl may prompt additional flight delays and cancellations at PBC over the short term.
Reconfirm flights if scheduled to travel via PBC on Oct. 26. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Contact your airline for updated flight information in the event of further disruptive volcanic activity.
