AustriaA series of disruptions in Italy's air traffic control data transmission network significantly slowed flight operations across the country today. The national system supporting air navigation services has been affected, according to ENAV, the responsible organization. Measures to regulate traffic flows have been implemented due to increasing air traffic and ongoing technical issues. ENAV reported that the capacity of Italian air traffic control has dropped by approximately 50 percent, caused by disruptions in the data transmission network since last night. No evidence of hacking or sabotage was found, and ENAV is working to identify the exact causes and restore full system operation. The duration of these restrictions remains unknown. Flight disruptions also impacted connections from Austria, with an Austrian Airlines flight canceled at Milan-Linate. Passengers were left waiting for information at Italian airports. Meanwhile, a 24-hour strike by easyJet staff further disrupted Italian air travel, causing delays.
