Air traffic has been severely slowed throughout Italy due to a series of anomalies in the data transmission network supporting air traffic control services across the country.
The announcement was made by ENAV, which specifies: "Starting at 6:00 a.m., in light of the progressive increase in air traffic and the persistence of anomalies, to continue to guarantee maximum operational safety," ENAV informs, "flow regulation measures have been introduced, which involve a temporary reduction in aircraft management capacity in Italian airspace."
In Sardinia, delays and cancellations are being reported at major airports, compounded by disruptions caused by the EasyJet staff strike. Passengers are therefore advised to check their flight status before arriving at the airport.
Enav currently excludes that these anomalies are linked to a hacker attack or sabotage attempts.
