On the 5th local time, Mount Etna on Sicily continued erupting, sending volcanic
ash that disrupted operations at Catania-Fontanarossa airport. The airport
briefly suspended inbound flights and limited arrivals to five per hour;
departures were routed and scheduled based on on-site conditions. Mount Etna,
one of Europe’s most active volcanoes, is being monitored for changes in
activity and ash dispersion; further operational adjustments will follow
airspace safety assessments.
