Sicily flights have been grounded out of Catania Airport following the eruption of Mt. Etna.
Lava flows have lessened since yesterday but a large amount of ash is still emitting.
Sicily flights are suspended until this morning, pending an update, the airport said.
Passengers are advised to check with airlines before leaving for the airport.
Incoming flights were diverted on Monday to other airports.
Catania mayor Enrico Trantino placed a ban on travel by bicycle or motorbike due to the ash, as well as a car speed limit of only 30 kmh.
It is the second serious disruption recently for Catania airport after a fire broke out at a terminal building.
Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe.
It measures 3,330m above sea level.
Several BA, Ryanair, easyJet and KLM flights were cancelled or diverted yesterday.
The airport had hoped to fully reopen late Monday.
Hundreds of UK holidaymakers planning to return home yesterday were stranded, with many online complaints about a lack of information.
The airport handled about 10 million passengers last year and is a popular tourist gateway.
