Disruption for thousands of passengers in north-eastern Italy on Saturday evening due to a breakdown in the radar system at Milan's Linate airport. More than three hundred flights were cancelled or diverted from airports in Lombardy, Piedmont and Liguria.
The radar failure was experienced for about two hours starting at 21:00 CEST. Around midnight, the National Flight Assistance Authority (Enav) announced that the data transmission and connectivity problem encountered at the Milan Area Control Centre had been resolved and air traffic in the area had gradually returned to normal.
