From Huffington Post an hour ago:
MEXICO CITY -- An airport serving Mexico's fourth-largest city
suspended operations for seven hours because of volcanic ash from
the Popocatepetl volcano.
The international airport in Puebla was temporarily closed as a
precautionary measure, said Puebla airport spokesman Herbert Lopez
Palma.
Palma said the airport re-opened after the ash stopped falling and
the airstrips were cleaned up.
The temporary closure affected six domestic and international
flights to Houston and Dallas, Texas.
The airport is east of Mexico City and about 20 miles (30
kilometers) from the 17,886-foot (5,450-meter) volcano.
At the Mexico City airport, Alaska Airlines on Friday canceled its
daily flight to and from Los Angeles.
Authorities said this week that a lava dome is growing inside the
crater and could cause further eruptions.
