Volcanic ash disrupts Catania Airport operations

Due to volcanic ash dispersal, Catania Airport has closed the airport for all
operations for a period during the early morning of 14th August.
Upon clearing, the airport will be re-opened for inbound and outbound
flights.

This has unfortunately resulted in a six-hour delay to Air Malta flights KM640
from Malta to Catania and KM641 from Catania to Malta.
Customers have been provided refreshments in both airports during the
flight delay.
This may result in other ongoing disruption during the course of the day as
operations recover.
