A volcanic eruption on Whakaari/White Island in New Zealand led to significant disruptions in air travel on Thursday morning. At least 10 flights were cancelled and three others delayed at Tauranga and Rotorua Airports due to the eruption. GNS Science, which had been monitoring the volcano, reported a new vent emitting increased volcanic ash, contributing to the eruption. Images showed a growing column of smoke from the volcano, which expanded significantly in size between 6 am and 8 am. Air New Zealand confirmed that volcanic ash had spread across flight paths serving both airports, prompting the cancellations and delays. Volcano Erupts in Indonesia Video: Mount Ebu Volcanic Eruption Spews Ash Five Kilometres Into Sky.
