"Popocatépetl Volcano Erupts 13 Times, Disrupting Mexico City Flights"
TL;DR
Mexico's Popocatépetl volcano, located near the country's capital, has erupted 13 times in the past day, leading to airport delays and cancellations due to volcanic ash. Flights out of Mexico City's largest airport were disrupted, with at least 22 flights cancelled and others rerouted. The volcano's activity also prompted the temporary suspension of airport operations in Puebla. The ash poses safety concerns for aviation, as it can reduce visibility and damage aircraft. Despite its regular eruptions, last year's large eruptions caused alarm in nearby towns, but experts consider the activity as "nothing new or surprising".
