Italy Restores Air Traffic After Network Failure Delays Ryanair Flights

An overnight failure in the data transmission network used by Italy’s air traffic control system forced ENAV to cut airspace capacity by up to 50% on Friday. ENAV said operations remained safe, ruled out a cyberattack and said capacity was fully restored later that day after switching to a secondary satellite network. The disruption delayed and canceled flights nationwide, including Ryanair services. A 24-hour EasyJet staff strike added to travel disruption. Airports affected included Rome, Milan and Bergamo.
