Trapani Airport Information
From Ryanair's Italian site

Translated from Italian

Closed the airport Trapani - March 21, 2011

Ryanair has been warned by Trapani airport from Monday 21 March for an indefinite period that the airport will be closed to civilian air traffic due to military action under way in Libya. Consequently all Ryanair flights due to depart from / to Trapani after 7:00 hours on March 21 will operate from the airport of Palermo, which is 35 miles from Trapani. Ryanair sincerely apologizes for this last minute change of airport that is outside our control.

Please consult the following list of flights on March 21, 2011
I believe this is because Gaddafi has threatened to attack any random civilian jet or ship in the med as it's a "ligitamate wastern target". To be honest though I wouldn't worry. His belief of what his military are capable are far in excess of what they actually are.
