The eruption of Mount Etna in Sicily has extended the closure of Catania airport until Saturday. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
According to the airport administration's decision, due to the threat to flight safety caused by volcanic activity, Catania airport will remain closed until Saturday. This measure is taken to ensure the safety of passengers and crews.
Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in Europe, and its eruptions often affect air traffic in the region. Catania airport is located on the eastern coast of Sicily, and its temporary closure in such situations is a common occurrence.
Airport services are monitoring the situation and will decide on resuming operations depending on the decrease in volcanic activity. Passengers are advised to follow updates from official airport sources.
