Ethiopia volcanic eruption: Hayli Gubbi volcano ash plume reaches Delhi; flight operations affected

A massive cloud of volcanic ash from Ethiopia's Hayli Gubbi volcano, which erupted for the first time in nearly 12,000 years, has travelled thousands of kilometres to India, reaching altitudes between 25,000 and 45,000 feet and affecting Delhi, Rajasthan, and several parts of North India. The plume, travelling at nearly 100–120 km/hour at altitudes above 10 km, contains volcanic ash, sulphur dioxide, and small particles of glass and rock.
