It was then that Mamma Etna blew that the Catania airport was closed until dawn.

The article reports that the Catania-Fontanarossa airport was partially closed overnight due to volcanic activity from Mount Etna and changing wind conditions. The closure, announced by the airport via Facebook, affects incoming evening and night flights but allows departing aircraft to take off if permitted. Passengers are advised to check flight status with their airline before departure. The article notes that while volcanic eruptions themselves are not directly dangerous, strong winds blowing ash toward the airport pose a risk, requiring frequent runway cleaning. It also mentions a Hungarian-related incident involving a Ryanair flight that departed Budapest for Palermo late Sunday instead of afternoon, with potential rerouting of passengers between Catania and Palermo. The article concludes by inviting affected travelers to share their experiences of witnessing Mount Etna.
