Overview
- Enav detected faults in its data-transmission network overnight and began traffic-control measures Friday at about 06:00 that reduced how many aircraft could be handled.
- Major hubs including Rome, Milan and Bergamo reported dozens of cancellations and long delays, and international routes to Germany were also disrupted.
- The authority says technical checks have localized the fault to its transmission network and that sabotage or hacking has been excluded while teams work to restore full system function.
- ENAC has designated guaranteed flight windows in the morning and evening, and passengers are advised to check airlines and airport channels for the latest status before travel.
- A planned 24-hour EasyJet cabin crew strike is intensifying the disruption at busy airports and could cause further knock-on delays and cancellations across Europe.
