Mount Etna Eruption Disrupts Flights at Sicily's Catania Airport

Volcanic ash and lava from Europe's highest active volcano cause temporary flight suspensions and ongoing travel delays.

Catania Airport halted flights for much of Sunday due to ash and smoke from Mount Etna.
The airport resumed service in the late afternoon but warned of potential delays and cancellations.
Mount Etna has experienced frequent eruptions in recent weeks, affecting air travel multiple times.
A 'lava fountain' and volcanic cloud were reported by Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology.
Despite its constant activity, Mount Etna's eruptions rarely result in casualties.
