Switzerland reopened its airspace, which was closed during the early hours of this Wednesday, after a “computer failure” not yet specified.
The Swiss air navigation service, Skyguide, initially announced that the closure of the airspace would be extended, for security reasons, “until further notice” and later reported that it was a “computer failure”.
According to the Swiss authorities, Air traffic and operation of Geneva and Zurich airports have already resumed.
“Skyguide regrets this incident and the consequences for customers and partners, as well as for all (the inconvenience) it caused to passengers who were at the two domestic airports,” says a statement from Skyguide.
Until now no further details on “computer breakdown” provided.
In recent hours, according to the Swiss news agency ATS-Keystone, international flights to the country were diverted to Milan airport in northern Italy.
