The Ezeiza and Aeroparque airport situation in Buenos Aires, is going back to normal after being all the domestic and international flights cancelled. This cancellation was caused by the big cloud of ash that the Puyehue volcano, located in the Chilean Patagonia, brought last Monday due to strong winds. The winds began to blow at 80 miles per hour, causing not only the movement of ash in the atmosphere, but also that it is placed on the floor, roaf and routes in the south.
According to the Secretary of Transportation, Juan Pablo Schiavi, rescheduling the flights suspended will take up to three days. Airlines Aerolineas Argentinas and Austral began to resume its operations last Monday noon.
Moreover the National Geological Service ( sernageomin) of Chile reported that the volcano remains the "low intensity eruption process and stable trend" with "low emission of fine particulate material and abundant water vapor."
The Chilean agency found that given the current characteristics of the activity of the volcano the dispersion of the ash cloud, may continue to occur for months, depending on conditions and variations of the winds.
This terrible event has had really bad consequences for Argentina not only in the touristic framework which it is supposed to decrease during the coming winter and being many flights already cancelled, but also for the argentinian ecosystem and the ranching. There has been several other eruptions recently, so we hope that there are no more in a short time because ,as I have said before, is bringing very bad consequences for the argentinian economy and ecosystem.
