00:02Disruptions and cancelled flights were reported on Friday morning at many Italian airports
00:07due to faults in the data transmission network that supports air traffic control services,
00:12the National Air Navigation Service Provider, ENAV, has announced.
00:16ENAV also said that although the faults were detected during the night between Thursday and Friday,
00:22normal management of air traffic without any reduction in operating capacity
00:27was ensured until 6 o'clock on Friday morning.
00:30The statement issued in the morning rules out any link between the faults and hacker attacks or sabotage.
00:36The authority explained that the source of the faults has been identified in the data transmission network
00:43and that it is working to determine the causes and restore full system operations.
00:48Italian airports are nevertheless experiencing disruption because of the network problem.
00:53Flights have been cancelled or delayed at Rome-Fumicino, at the two Milan airports and Naples.
