Catania airport in Sicily is once again restricting landings due to the eruption of Mount Etna.

On August 17, the Catania airport in Sicily restricted incoming flights due to intense eruptive activity from Mount Etna. The decision was prompted by significant volcanic ash emissions, which pose operational challenges for arriving aircraft.

While arrivals are currently limited, airport authorities have confirmed that departing flights remain unaffected by the volcanic activity. Operations continue to be monitored as the situation develops.
