Etna eruption: Catania airport remains closed

Catania airport, Sicily's largest airport, remains closed following the eruption of Mount Etna nearly a week ago. The duration of the closure is currently unclear.

The economic consequences of this event are already being felt, particularly in the tourism sector. Estimates from an Italian trade association suggest that the economic damages resulting from flight cancellations and disruptions amount to at least twelve million euros.

Despite the challenging situation, many onlookers are drawn to the volcano, which is considered Europe's most active, drawing ongoing attention.
