Catania Airport announced this morning that the airspace around the ash cloud has been closed due to the Etna volcano's "eruptive activity" and the resulting release of volcanic ash into the atmosphere. All incoming flights were temporarily suspended, while departures proceeded as scheduled. Following a downgrade of the alert level from red to orange, the airport announced the immediate resumption of flight operations late this afternoon.
