Etna: new ash cloud, Catania airport closed again

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Catania airport was fully operational again after almost three days of stoppage due to the activity of Etna.

Font size

The total reopening of flights in Catania lasted just under one night: the recovery of energy from the emission of volcanic ash from the North-East crater of Etna which produces an eruptive cloud 4 kilometers high led to the suspension of operations at Catania airport where it will not be possible to land and take off until 3pm.

The wind blowing towards the south, in the direction of the airport, weighed on the decision.

Yesterday evening, after almost three days of stopping flights, with the lowering of the INGV flight warning from red to orange, the airport was fully operational again. This morning the bulletin went back to red.
