Footage has emerged of the latest eruption of Mount Etna, which has seen the closure of Catania airport and the cancellation of several flights, including Air Malta trips.

Sicily's Catania airport reopened to flights on Monday morning, after a one-day closure due to smoke and ash from Etna.

However, by Monday late afternoon, Air Malta said the airport will remain closed until at least August 15 at 6am.
