A national strike by Italy’s air navigation provider ENAV and its technology subsidiary Techno Sky began at 1 pm local time on September 30 and is scheduled to last four hours, the Daily Mail reported.
The industrial action is expected to affect flights nationwide, with local walkouts planned at Bologna, Milan Linate, Naples and Bari airports. Italian law protects flight operations between 7 am‑10 am and 6 pm‑9 pm, but delays are anticipated for the rest of the day.
Recent disruptions in the region include a cancellation of flights from Catania Airport on September 29 after volcanic activity from Mount Etna, and a technical failure at the UK’s NATS system that stranded passengers earlier this month.
