ROME: Flights arriving at Catania airport in eastern Sicily were suspended until 1500 GMT on Monday after volcanic ash from a fresh eruption of Mount Etna drifted into airspace around the airport, operator SAC said.
Etna, which towers over Sicily’s east coast, is one of the world’s most active volcanoes and frequently disrupts air traffic at Catania, the island’s main airport and Italy’s fifth busiest by passenger traffic.
