Mexico: Lingering flight disruptions likely at Puebla International Airport after ashfall prompts temporary suspension of operations Jan. 18

Flight disruptions, including delays and cancellations, are likely to impact Puebla International Airport (PBC), serving Puebla, over the coming hours after ashfall from the Popocatepetl volcano prompted authorities to temporarily suspend flight operations at the facility on Jan. 18. 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.
