CAAP extends Mayon flight ban until Monday morning

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has extended the flight ban over Mayon Volcano until Monday morning, December 15.

The updated Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) covers flights from the surface up to 11,000 feet and advises operators to avoid flying close to the volcano.

The ban was initially issued following the extrusion of new dark lava spines from the volcano's summit lava dome, indicating the presence of new and shallow magma.

Phivolcs reported 14 rockfall events at Mayon on Saturday and noted moderate emission drifting southwest and west-southwest.

Mayon Volcano remains under Alert Level 1, signifying a state of low-level unrest.
