Northern Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano has finally settled after a weekend eruption that sent shockwaves—literally and figuratively—across the region. The eruption disrupted travel plans, forcing airlines to cancel multiple flights and leaving travelers stranded. It’s not every day you can blame a volcano for missing your flight, but this weekend was one of those rare occasions.
Travel Disruptions and Local Impact
The eruption led to canceled flights and widespread confusion, as authorities scrambled to ensure safety and assess the situation. While the volcanic activity has now subsided, the aftermath serves as a reminder of nature’s unpredictable power. The local community and airlines are working hard to resume normal operations, but the event has left a trail of inconvenience for many.
What’s Next?
Fortunately, no major injuries have been reported, and experts continue to monitor the area. Travelers should check with airlines for the latest updates before planning trips to the region.
Sometimes, all you want is a peaceful weekend, but instead, you get a volcanic show! If only travel insurance covered “eruption-induced cancellations” as standard.
