Mexico's most dangerous active volcano, Popocatépetl, has erupted 13 times in a day, disrupting flights and prompting warnings to avoid climbing the volcano. The eruptions have led to the cancellation of at least 22 flights at Mexico City's airport and the temporary closure of Puebla International Airport. Officials have advised people to stay away from the exclusion radius of 12 kilometers from the crater due to the danger of incandescent fragments and mud and debris flows. The volcanic ash poses a serious hazard to aviation, as it can severely reduce visibility and erode jet engine blades.
