Hayli Gubbi Volcano Erupts in Ethiopia’s Afar Region; JAL Warns of Doha Disruptions

The Hayli Gubbi volcano in northeastern Afar Regional State, Ethiopia, erupted on November 23.

This is the first large-scale eruption in roughly 10,000 years. The Afar Disaster and Risk Management Commission has announced that no damage to people or livestock has been confirmed and that volcanic activity has weakened.

Japan Airlines (JAL) says volcanic ash along the route may affect operations on Doha flights. The Doha–Tokyo/Haneda service on November 24 is expected to operate with an 18-hour delay.

The Embassy of Japan in Ethiopia is urging people to refrain from travel, as the Kilbati area (Afar Region) is already under Travel Advisory Level 3 (Avoid All Travel).
