Switzerland closed its airspace on Wednesday over a technical problem in its air traffic control system, which has led to the diversion of flights in the country, as confirmed by the company Skyguide, citing “security reasons”.
“Swiss air navigation service provider Skyguide experienced a technical failure early this morning, closing Swiss airspace to traffic for safety reasons,” it stressed in a statement, before adding that this closure “will be in effect until further notice.”
“Skyguide regrets this incident and its impact on customers, partners and passengers at Geneva and Zurich airports and is working on a resolution. Skyguide will provide more information as it becomes available,” he emphasized.
The company’s spokesperson, Vladi Barrosa, said in statements to the German news agency DPA that “it is not believed to be a cyber attack”, before adding that it could be a hardware failure, without giving more details about the possible duration of the problem.
For its part, the Swiss airline, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, has reported that “long-haul flights are being diverted to several airports in neighboring countries, including those in Lyon, Milan and Vienna.” “Short flights are not taking off,” he noted.
