Spectacular Drone Footage Shows Etna Eruptions: Airspace Partially Closed Again

32 flights were diverted to Palermo Airport, the largest in Sicily, due to Etna. Buses were provided to transport passengers from Palermo to Catania. Although no flights were canceled, travelers were asked to check if their flight was confirmed before heading to the airport.

Several Recent Eruptions at Etna

For days, there have been minor eruptions accompanied by light earthquakes. Mount Etna, located in eastern Sicily, has erupted several times in recent months. There is generally no danger for residents near the over 3,300-meter-high mountain. The area around the volcano is a nature park and attracts many tourists. Since 2013, it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
