How to read the data

VONA and VAAC describe aviation conditions. Closures or restrictions are shown only when announced by SAC or the authorities.

Before you travel

Cancellations, delays and diversions are provided for information. Always confirm your flight with the airport and airline.

Frequently asked questions

Does a red VONA code mean Catania Airport is closed?

No. EtnaMonitor shows a closure or restriction only when explicitly announced by the airport or competent authorities.

Does the map show where ash will fall on the ground?

No. VAAC polygons describe airborne ash observed or forecast at altitude, not a definite forecast of ashfall on the ground.

Where should I confirm my flight?

Always check Catania Airport's official tracking and your airline's communications.
