The Etna volcano on the Italian Mediterranean island of Sicily is active again. Flight operations at Catania airport had to be suspended because the runway was contaminated by ash rains. According to the ORF, Karin Bernhard, regional director of ORF Carinthia, is also stuck with a tour group in Sicily.
According to the airport management in Catania, flight operations cannot resume until “security conditions are restored”.
Karin Bernhard had only visited the volcanic cone with her tour group two days earlier. The mountain guides already suspected that there could be another eruption.
Many cars covered in lava dust can also be seen in the city. The roads are already very slippery. According to Bernhard, the situation at Catania Airport was very chaotic on Sunday.
The airlines are now trying to find solutions for the passengers. You now have to wait to be able to come back to Carinthia.
