ITA Airways announced on X that a radar failure at Naples Capodichino Airport may cause severe delays and cancellations, advising passengers to check flights online before traveling.
According to Anadolu Agency, a radar malfunction at Naples Capodichino Airport on June 9 severely restricted the airport's air traffic control capacity, especially in managing incoming flights. ENAV, the Italian air navigation service provider, said that the failure affected the terminal radar area, necessitating the rerouting and cancellation of dozens of flights. The disruption lasted several hours and affected both domestic and international air traffic.
As reported by AVIONEWS, at least 45 flights were canceled and numerous others delayed or diverted due to the radar outage at Naples Capodichino Airport. The radar system failure led to significant disruption, with passengers stranded in terminals or redirected to other cities. Authorities and airline personnel had to manage overcrowded terminals and provide logistical support for affected travelers.
