All flights in and out of Catania airport in Sicily have been halted due to an eruption from nearby Mount Etna.<br /><br />Catania airport is the gateway to eastern Sicily and attracts more arrivals than the capital Palermo.<br /><br />The airport has already been closed this month due to ash clouds and today’s closure adds further travel chaos during the peak summer tourist season.<br /><br />Normal operations are due to resume once the ash fallout has ended. <br /><br />#volcano #eruption #mountetna #sicily #catania #flightscancelled
