Air traffic in Italy was significantly disrupted on Friday by technical faults in the data transmission network used by air traffic control services. The problems affected airspace across the entire country and led to delays, flight cancellations and restrictions on the number of aircraft in operation. Telex ↗
Italy's air navigation service provider Enav announced that the anomalies began appearing in the morning hours. From six o'clock it took measures to regulate aircraft flow in order to reduce the load on the system and maintain operational safety. The complications also affected airports, including Rome's Fiumicino and other major airports in the country. svet.sme.sk ↗
Enav stated that the fault was not related to a hacker attack or sabotage. The company also announced that it had ruled out the possibility that the anomalies arose as a result of deliberate malicious activity. The causes of the technical problems are still being investigated. ANSA ↗
The situation was further aggravated by a 24-hour strike by EasyJet employees, which affected some connections at major Italian airports. Passengers therefore faced a combination of technical restrictions and the labor action. Merkur ↗
The Ministry of Transport stated that the government is in contact with Enav and is thoroughly examining the technical causes of the outages. According to the rules, passengers on cancelled flights are entitled to a refund or to the earliest possible alternative connection. The extent of delays and cancellations depends on further developments regarding the fault and the restoration of normal air traffic capacity. La Repubblica ↗
