Flights to and from Catania and Comiso airports in Sicily have been suspended until 6 PM today due to ongoing volcanic ashfall from Mount Etna. The disruption is impacting travel plans for over 100,000 passengers, causing significant holiday chaos. Airport management is advising travelers to confirm their flight status before heading to the airport. The persistent ashfall poses a risk to aircraft engines and visibility, necessitating the temporary closure of airspace. This is not the first time Etna’s activity has caused flight cancellations, highlighting the challenges of operating near an active volcano. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, but no timeframe for resuming normal operations beyond 6 PM has been provided. Further updates will be issued as the volcanic activity and ash dispersal evolve.
