Italy Air Traffic Capacity Fully Restored after Network Disruption Caused Delays
ROME (AP) — Italy's air traffic capacity was fully restored on Friday after overnight problems hit the data transmission network supporting air traffic control services nationwide, air navigation company ENAV said.
Italy's air traffic capacity was fully restored on Friday after overnight issues affected the data transmission network that supported air traffic control services across the country, according to the air navigation company ENAV. ENAV assured that flight operations remained secure, ruling out any possibility of a cyberattack. The company switched to a secondary satellite network, gradually increasing capacity as the problem was resolved.
Initially, the disruption had caused ENAV to reduce the number of aircraft that could be managed in Italian airspace by as much as 50%. This resulted in delays at various airports, including Rome's Fiumicino airport and those serving Milan and Bergamo.
