Welcome to Cataniaindeed no … in the capital you cannot arrive by plane. Morning of chaos and inconvenience toFontanarossa Airportfrom which you can’t even take off. In the middle of the tourist season, all aerial flights were suddenly blocked, diverted to other Sicilian airports such as Palermo and Comiso. The airport – among the busiest in Italy – will not be operational at least until 10 today.
“Due to the absence of safety conditions for air navigation for the presence of obstacles along the landing and take -off routes Post west of the track, the interruption of flights and arrival at Catania airport was arranged. ” The Sac – a company that manages the Fontanarossa airport says – adding that it is monitoring the evolution of the events that are causing these disservices “.
From what is learned, the problem would be connected to the presence of a high crane that was blocked in the outdoor area of the airport during night work, which would not be the responsibility of the sac. Before going to the airport, therefore, all passengers should check the status of their flight directly with the Reference Area Company.
It looks like a joke, but after the 2023 fire (caused by a defective electric multipresses) which brought air traffic to the island on the island in the middle of summer, tourists have touched an unforgettable welcome. And those who have to reach Catania, due to the diverted flights, will find themselves forced to move by bus or car from Comiso or Palermo with hot temperatures. A nice trip to hell that would make Dante pale.
Update: around 10.30 the airport has returned to being operational after removing the crane.
