320 flights canceled in northeastern Italy/Travel disrupted at several airports

This weekend, 320 flights were canceled in northeastern Italy due to a systems failure at Milan's Linate airport.

More than three hundred flights were canceled or diverted from airports in Lombardy, Piedmont and Liguria.

The radar outage lasted for about two hours starting at 21:00 CEST. Around midnight, the National Authority for Flight Assistance (Enav) announced that the data transmission and connection problem encountered at the Milan Area Control Centre had been resolved and air traffic in the area had gradually returned to normal.

Also affected by the disruption were the airports of Venice, Rome and Pisa.

 "The investigation is now underway to understand the origin of the breakdown and to implement actions to prevent the problem from recurring," Pierluigi Di Palma, president of the National Civil Aviation Authority (Enac), told the Ansa news agency.

The website Flightradar24 published an image of the airspace involved, where no aircraft were recorded for two hours. /CNA
