According to the Mexico City International Airport, the airlines have cancelled 22 domestic and international flights to perform safety checks after planes flew through ash coming from Popocatepetl volcano while flying toward the Mexican capital.
The airport shared a post on X and mentioned that it remains open and in operation. The post reads, “Specialized teams and management remain on alert and are evaluating the ash conditions.” The volcanic ash cloud is moving towards the Gulf of Mexico at this time.
The airlines advised all travellers to stay informed through the airline websites and official airport channels.
