Delays, diverted flights and many difficulties in Catania Fontanarossa

The current situation at Catania airport shows no major improvements compared to last month. There are many inconveniences that passengers have had to suffer due to bad weather.

Incredible rains hit the entire Sicilian territory, in particular, Catania and the entire airport area had to deal with flooding and numerous difficulties.

The landing strip of Catania Fontanarossa is flooded, for this reason many landing flights have been diverted to other airports such as those of Palermo, Trapani and Lamezia Terme.

The impossibility of returning to Catania was caused by the conditions of the runway which did not allow for a safe landing.

Passengers have had to adapt to numerous delays on departing flights, some of which have even been canceled.

Bad weather does not let go

Catania was the victim of a phase of marked bad weather with showers and thunderstorms even of strong intensity.

In the last month, the countless storms have literally plagued the city and the entire province.

There are about 190 requests for assistance that the fire brigade and civil protection received yesterday. In most cases, the requests for action involved flooding houses and basements but also the removal of obstacles from the streets.

The gusts of wind, the water bombs and the general bad weather have not spared even the trees and shrubs present in the streets of the city of Catania. In fact, the municipality will have to take a concrete decision for the elimination of all unsafe trees by requesting their felling or providing for the safety of the area.
