Hot ash from Italy's Etna volcano, active for several weeks now, forced authorities to temporarily halt flights in eastern Sicily. It was the third such disruption at Catania's airport in around a month.
Volcanic activity from Mount Etna disrupted flights in Sicily, Italy, on Sunday.
A cloud of ash and smoke from one of the world's most active volcanoes halted flights at Catania airport for much of the day.
The restrictions were lifted in the late afternoon, but the airport warned of continued "possible delays and cancellations" as a result of the earlier restrictions.
Millions of passengers pass every year through the Catania airport, which serves the eastern part of Sicily with tourist sites such as Syracuse and Taormina.
