Caap extends flight ban near Mayon Volcano
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has extended the flight ban near Mayon Volcano until Friday morning, December 13, 2025, at 9 a.m. due to its ongoing volcanic activity.
The restriction prohibits flights within 11,000 feet above the volcano's surface, with the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) in effect from December 12, 2025, 7:15 a.m.
CAAP has advised flight operators to avoid flying close to the volcano, which remains under Alert Level 1 or low-level unrest.
This extension follows the observation of new spines of dark lava at Mayon Volcano's summit lava dome last Wednesday.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) warned of increased chances of volcanic hazards, including steam explosions, rockfalls, and lahar flows.
Phivolcs recorded 17 rockfall events from the volcano on Thursday and observed a plume drifting southwestward.
