ROME: Sicily´s Catania Airport resumed service on Sunday after volcanic activity from Mount Etna temporarily limited incoming flights, but it warned passengers of possible delays and cancellations.

Earlier in the day, the airport announced that due to volcanic activity Sunday morning, arriving flights would be reduced to six per hour and that one section of the airport would be closed.

The restrictions were lifted in the late afternoon, according to an update on the airport´s website, which warned of continued “possible delays and cancellations” due to the earlier restrictions.
