A technical defect in the Milan Air Control Center led to considerable air traffic disorders in North -Italy on Saturday evening. Parts of the airspace had to be temporarily blocked.
These ditches related to the Lombardy, Piedmont and Liguria. The affected regions were clearly visible on the flight surveillance platform “Flighttradar24” around 9 p.m., where there was a striking “gap” in air traffic via North Italy, as Italian media reported. The reason for failure was a condition in the so-called E-network, a transmission network that connects the control centers of Italian air traffic control with the airports. This system sends decisive information such as radar data, weather reports and messages to the cockpits of the aircraft.
Safe coordination was not guaranteed
When the system failed in the evening, the safe coordination of air traffic was no longer guaranteed. As a result, countless flights had to be painted, considerably late or diverted to other airports. The airports Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, Turin, Genoa and Oray Serio Airport in Bergamo were mainly affected.
Tense location at airports
Many passengers were stuck in the terminals or had to accept long waiting times. Some people spent the night at the airport. The condition caused a considerable mess and led to a tense situation at the airports. The technicians worked hard to solve the condition. The authorities were able to give the All -Clear early on Sunday morning. The problems were solved, air traffic normalizes again.
