A technical malfunction in Italy's air traffic control systems caused flight delays and cancellations at several airports on Friday 16 October, according to ENAV and airport operators.
ENAV said the fault emerged overnight in the data transmission network that supports nationwide air traffic control services, ruled out malicious activity, and introduced flow restrictions from 06:00 local time that temporarily reduced the number of aircraft handled; Aeroporti di Roma and SEA issued advisories urging passengers to check flight status directly with airlines while ENAV worked to restore normal operations.
