Mount Etna Erupts: Catania Airport Arrivals Halted
14 Sep
Summary
- Catania Airport suspended arrivals due to Mount Etna's volcanic activity.
- The suspension was in effect until 4 p.m. local time on Monday.
- This follows major disruptions at the Sicily airport last month.
Catania Airport, Sicily's busiest airline hub, suspended all incoming flights on Monday until 4 p.m. local time. The airport operator, Società Aeroporto Catania, cited volcanic activity from the nearby Mount Etna as the reason for the closure.
This latest disruption comes after a period of significant flight cancellations and delays at the airport last month, also attributed to volcanic ash. The ongoing activity from Mount Etna necessitates these precautionary measures to ensure flight safety.
