Officials opened a technical review following the use of contingency separation procedures.

Overview

  • CORPAC reported a short interruption in the national radar system on October 6 that was detected quickly and fixed within minutes.
  • Controllers activated international contingency protocols and used procedural separation, increasing spacing between flights to roughly 10 minutes.
  • Authorities said safety was not compromised and airports continued operating without reported landing cancellations.
  • The disruption caused delays and some flight reprogramming, with residual effects for passengers after service returned.
  • The event occurred during a low-demand period, and CORPAC said technical teams are evaluating the cause.
