Mount Etna eruption halts flights in Sicily

1 min read

While most flights are unaffected, some are being cancelled or diverted to other airports in Sicily.

From Euronews, travel to and from the Italian island of Sicily is currently disrupted due to a volcanic eruption.

Catania international airport has delayed, cancelled and diverted some flights due to an eruption from Mount Etna billowing smoke into the air. The smoke affects visibility for pilots.

Nearby towns have also been covered in black volcanic ash after the Voragine crater began erupting last night.

Catania is on the east coast of Sicily and at the foot of Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano.
