Etna’s Ash Halts Sicily’s Summer Travel | Tulsa News
Description
Mount Etna’s latest ash spew has grounded flights for five straight days, crippling Catania Airport during peak summer travel — just as Ferragosto looms. With 36% of flights canceled and 600+ rerouted, officials warn this is the longest ash-related shutdown since 2002. Volcanic ash poses serious engine risks, and winds have even carried particles to Malta and North Africa. While Italy’s rail system steps in with extra trains, travel agencies demand better coordination and passenger support from airlines amid the chaos.
