Volcanic Ash Suspends Flights at Italy's Catania Airport for Third Day
Flights at Italy's Catania airport have been suspended for a third consecutive day due to volcanic ash emissions from Mount Etna, the Sicilian airport operator SAC announced. The airport, Italy's fifth-busiest by passenger traffic, halted all operations until 2159 GMT on Monday. Mount Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano, frequently disrupts flights, with particularly intense ash emissions this summer affecting thousands of travelers during the peak holiday season.
