Chile’s volcano stirs again
The Jorge Newbery airport in Buenos Aires suspended all flights on Sunday because of the presence of ash from neighbouring Chile’s Puyehue volcano, which severely disrupted travel when it erupted in June this year.
.
The city’s other major airport, Ezeiza, was, however, still open for international flights, an official said.
Argentina’s LAN airline said in a statement that domestic flights were most affected.
Air traffic in the southern hemisphere was hit hard when the volcano spewed ash in June after sleeping dormant for half a century.
Airlines in Australia and New Zealand were forced to cancel hundreds of flights because of concern that ash particles could clog jet engines.
The eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjoll last year caused the greatest shutdown of air space in peacetime Europe, with more than 100,000 flights cancelled and eight million passengers affected.
