Volcanic Ash Forces Guatemala Airport to Suspend Operations
June 14, 2018
GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - Guatemala City’s La Aurora international airport temporarily suspended operations on its only runway on Wednesday due to ash after the Pacaya volcano increased activity, a week and half after a violent eruption from another peak killed more than 100.
“This is a preventative measure taken to safeguard the lives of passengers and aircraft safety,” Guatemala’s civil aviation authority said.
