Etna's ash cloud temporarily halts flights at Catania Airport
Takeoffs and landings at Catania Airport have been temporarily suspended due to an ash cloud rising from Mount Etna.
An ash cloud rising once again from Mount Etna on the Italian island of Sicily has disrupted air traffic at Catania Airport. Due to the ash cloud that formed on the morning of Tuesday, September 15, takeoffs and landings at the airport were temporarily halted.
According to VONA, the volcanic activity notification system for aviation, the ash cloud reached an altitude of approximately 4 kilometers and moved southward toward the airport. Following this development, the aviation alert level for the volcano was raised back to red, the highest level.
Due to volcanic ash and wind conditions, the C1 and B3 airspace sectors were closed. It was reported that flight operations at Catania Airport have been suspended until at least 10:00 local time.
Etna, which has seen increased activity in recent weeks, also caused disruptions to air travel in the region in August. Due to ash clouds emitted by the volcano, flight restrictions and cancellations had previously occurred in Catania.
