Mount Etna eruption affects Sicily flights
On Thursday evening, the Italian island of Sicily experienced an eruption of Mount Etna, which led to the suspension of flights at Catania Airport. The airport announced that arrivals and departures would be prohibited until 2:00 a.m. on Saturday due to the increased ash column resulting from the eruption. Mount Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe, and the recent eruption was characterized by a prolonged ash emission, with a small amount of ash drifting toward Malta and North Africa due to northern winds. The resumption of flights depends on the volcano's activity, wind direction, and the concentration of ash in the air.
