In an update, Aeroporti di Roma said delays and cancellations may affect flights operating to and from Catania Airport following the volcano's latest activity.
The airport operator advised passengers to contact their airline before heading to the airport to confirm the status of their flight.
Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano, frequently experiences eruptive episodes that can affect air traffic, particularly when volcanic ash reaches flight paths or airport operations.
No further details on the number of affected flights or the duration of the disruptions were immediately available.
The announcement follows a 24-hour strike by multiple aviation workers, including easyJet pilots and cabin crew, on July 5, 2026, which triggered more flight delays and cancellations.
