Mount Etna still erupting, flights stopped in Catania: the inconvenience of ash: flights are still completely blocked The video

The eruption of Mount Etna continues to disrupt air travel at Catania International Airport, with flights suspended until at least 2 PM on July 7. The volcanic activity, which began overnight between June 6 and 7, has led to a complete block on departures and arrivals at the Vincenzo Bellini airport. The suspension was extended by the SAC, the company managing the airport. While flights to and from eastern Sicily remain affected, passengers can still use the Comiso Airport in Ragusa, which is operational. SAC advises travelers to check directly with airlines for flight status updates and promises further information soon.

Flight Alert changes from red to orange. Catania Airport is operational.

The Etna volcano continues its eruptive phase, emitting ash from the crater Voragine on its eastern side. This has led to the suspension of incoming flights and a complete block on departures at the international Catania Airport, which remains closed until 2 PM today.
