Popocatepetl's volcanic ash disrupts Mexico City airports and schools.
TL;DR Summary
Mexico City's two main airports, Benito Juarez International and Felipe Angeles, temporarily shut down operations due to ash spewing from Popocatepetl volcano. Volcanic ashes are dangerous for aviation as they reduce visibility and can damage aircraft. The volcano has been active this week, forcing 11 villages to cancel school sessions, and authorities are maintaining the threat at an intermediate level.
