Radar Failure Disrupts Flights Across Northern Italy
Israa Farhan A radar malfunction at Milan's air traffic control center led to the suspension of flights across northwestern Italy for two hours on Saturday evening, according to ENAV, the company responsible for managing Italian airspace. In a statement released Sunday, ENAV confirmed that all inbound and outbound flights were halted between 8:20 PM and 10:20 PM local time (18:20–20:20 GMT). Air traffic gradually resumed and returned to normal by midnight. During the disruption, ENAV activated its satellite-based emergency system to safely manage aircraft already airborne. The suspension of subsequent flights followed strict international aviation safety standards. The company clarified that the issue stemmed from a communication failure in the data link supplying radar information to the operations room. This connection is managed by Telecom Italia, an external service provider. Telecom Italia has yet to respond to requests for comment. According to Italy's ANSA news agency, around 320 flights were affected by the radar failure. Authorities at Milan's airports arranged about 200 temporary beds to accommodate stranded passengers. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Radar glitch caused flight halt in northern Italy, air traffic controller says
ROME (Reuters) -Flights in northwestern Italy were suspended for two hours late on Saturday due to a malfunction in the radar transmission system in Milan, the country's air traffic controller Enav said. New departures and entries into the airspace covered by the system were halted from 8:20 p.m. to 10:20 p.m. (1820-2020 GMT), the company said in a statement on Sunday. Capacity was gradually restored until returning to normal by midnight. Enav activated an emergency satellite system to ensure the safe management of flights that were already in the air at the time of the incident, before halting new air traffic in the area in line with international safety standards. "The problem affected the connectivity that allows radar data to flow to the operations room, which is provided by an external telecommunications supplier, namely TIM," Enav said, referring to Telecom Italia. TIM did not immediately reply to an emailed request for comment. Italian news agency Ansa said about 320 flights were affected due to the radar malfunction, adding that some 200 camp beds had been set up for passengers affected by the disruption in Milan's two airports.
