The company that runs Catania airport
on Tuesday suspended flights to and from it after Mount Etna
erupted again, spewing a huge cloud of volcanic ash into the
atmosphere.
Passengers have been asked to contact their airline before going
to the airport, with some flights cancelled and others diverted
to different airports.
It is the latest in a series of recent eruptions at Europe's
tallest active volcano.
The National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) said
this bout of activity was intense and estimated that the cloud
of ash went up eight kilometers.
