A thick cloud of volcanic ash and smoke has erupted from Mount Etna on the Italian island of Sicily, prompting Catania Airport to suspend incoming flights today. The airport announced the closure of airspace due to the volcanic cloud.
According to a statement from the airport, the volcanic activity at Mount Etna and the subsequent ash emissions necessitated the closure of airspace in sector C1. As a result, all incoming flights have been suspended until 12:00 PM local time. However, departing flights continue to operate normally.
Standing at 3,324 meters, Mount Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe. It has experienced frequent eruptions over hundreds of thousands of years. The Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology closely monitors its activity to ensure public safety.
Travelers planning to fly into Catania should stay informed about the situation and check for updates regarding flight schedules. The ongoing volcanic activity highlights the dynamic nature of Mount Etna and its impact on local aviation.
