After Etna eruption: flight operations in Sicily largely back to normal
After the Etna eruption, normality is returning to Catania airport. However, some flights, for example to Germany, remain affected.
Flights at Catania airport in Sicily are operating largely as normal again after disruptions caused by the eruption of Mount Etna. The airport's website shows only a few flights as cancelled, with most arrivals and departures taking place as scheduled. However, some flights to Germany, including those to Frankfurt and Munich, were among those cancelled on Sunday.
The airport's operator, SAC, resumed operations on Saturday afternoon after reducing the volcanic activity warning level from red to orange, and hundreds of flights had been cancelled, delayed or diverted since the eruption began over a week ago. Between August 6 and 12, around 36 percent of scheduled flights were cancelled.
