Deadly eruption in Guatemala disrupts travel to area

Wednesday, June 6, 2018


The Guatemalan regions of Sacatepéquez, Escuintla, and Chimaltenango, all affected by the Fuego Volcano's eruptions, are under a state of emergency.

La Aurora International Airport, in Guatemala City, some 30 miles from the volcano, was closed following the eruption due to ash blanketing the tarmac. It reopened Monday morning, but flights in and out of Guatemala are operating at the discretion of airlines.
