An eruption of Mount Etna disrupts air travel in eastern Sicily by halting flight arrivals at Catania’s main airport. Multiple outlets report that incoming flights are suspended due to ash from the volcano.
Catania airport is described as Sicily’s key airport and one of Italy’s busiest. Sources also note that Etna is among the world’s most active volcanoes and routinely affects air traffic in the region. The disruption is framed as part of Etna’s frequent pattern of causing aviation delays, rather than an isolated event.
Euronews specifies that Catania airport suspends incoming flights until 17:00 on Monday, 10 August. Other outlets confirm the suspension of arrivals but focus more generally on Etna’s history of disrupting flight operations, without providing the same detailed timetable.
