Flight restriction around Mayon Volcano extended until Jan. 4 – Caap
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has extended flight restrictions around Mayon Volcano until Sunday, January 4, 2026, due to increased volcanic unrest.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised Mayon Volcano to Alert Level 2 last Thursday, citing increased rockfall and long-term ground deformation.
This escalation in volcanic activity suggests a higher probability of an eruption.
The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) B0016/26 prohibits aircraft operations within 11,000 feet above the summit.
Pilots are strongly advised to avoid flying close to the volcano as volcanic ash from sudden phreatic eruptions poses a serious hazard to aircraft safety.
