Rome – Catania Airport has been closed following the eruption of Mount Etna on the island of Sicily in southern Italy. All flight services from here have been suspended.
According to a report by Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), lava spewed 2,800 meters from the volcano’s southeast crater. After the explosion, the atmosphere in the southeastern region of Sicily is covered in ash.
Passengers traveling via Catania have been advised to consult their airline and take further action. Catania Airport provides passengers with real-time travel updates through its social media channels.
After a massive fire broke out in the main terminal of the airport building in mid-July, there were no flight services from here for three weeks.
The closure of the airport during Ferragosto, Italy’s main summer holiday season, is expected to cause significant inconvenience to travelers.
