Catania airport in Sicily reopened on Tuesday evening after suspending flights for two days due to a volcanic eruption at nearby Mount Etna that spewed ash into the sky.
Volcanic ash from Mount Etna has caused another temporary suspension of all air traffic at one of Italy's busiest airports. Officials are advising passengers to check their flight status regularly with their carriers.
The Sicilian volcano Etna has already made its presence felt this summer. During its eruption in August 2026, it caused considerable disruption to air traffic, paralyzing nearby airports. All signs point to the disruption continuing. In September, Etna erupted again, affecting numerous flights, including those from Poland.
