Italy: Mount Etna Eruption in Sicily Halts Catania Flights
Sicily's Catania airport has suspended flights again as Mount Etna continues to spew lava and volcanic ash.
Flooding in Sicily halted flights at Catania airport on Wednesday, with air traffic expected to resume by 4 p.m. local time on Thursday. The eruption of Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano, has forced regulators to restrict airspace around eastern Sicily, affecting the peak summer holiday season. Flights at other Sicilian airports, such as Palermo's, have also faced disruptions, with some arriving at the airport on the eastern side of the island. Malta International Airport reported possible disruptions but stated conditions were improving.
