Flights at Italy's Catania ​airport were suspended on ‌Saturday due to volcanic ash from ​Mount Etna's ongoing ​activity and weather conditions, ⁠the company operating ​the Sicilian hub ​said, Reuters reports.

All arrivals at the airport, Italy's fifth-busiest by ​passenger traffic, have ​been suspended until 1000 GMT ‌on ⁠Sunday.

Mount Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano, frequently ​disrupts ​flights ⁠at Catania, but ash emissions ​have been particularly ​intense ⁠this summer, affecting thousands of travellers during ⁠the ​peak holiday ​season.
