ENAV reduces Italian air traffic capacity as data network disruption persists

ENAV temporarily reduced air traffic handling capacity across Italy from 6 a.m. on October 16, 2026, following data transmission network disruptions. Flow restrictions were introduced to maintain safety as traffic increased while network problems persisted. Contingency systems maintained normal air traffic operations overnight until 6 a.m., without capacity reductions. Technical teams identified the network as the source of the disruption; work continues to determine causes and restore full operations. Malicious activity has been ruled out.
