Disrupted air traffic in Italy after a technical fault affected the air traffic control system. Passengers faced delays and flight cancellations nationwide as authorities confirmed the issue was not caused maliciously. The Italian air navigation service ENAV announced temporary capacity restrictions for air traffic following anomalies detected overnight in the data transmission network supporting air traffic control services across the country. ENAV stated efforts were underway to restore full system operations after identifying the source of the problem. Flight operators ADR, which manages Rome’s airports, warned passengers could experience delays or cancellations due to technical issues with the national air traffic control system. They advised travelers to contact their airline directly. Similarly, SEA, which operates Milan’s airports, issued a comparable alert. ENAV reported that the anomaly was identified in the national data transmission network during the night. Measures to regulate traffic flows had been introduced by 6 a.m. due to increasing air traffic and ongoing technical problems. ENAV maintained normal operations until 6 a.m. using backup systems. Technical investigations continue, and the exact cause of the disruption has been narrowed down. ENAV is working to determine the specific causes and restore unrestricted system operation. The duration of the restrictions remained unclear initially.
