Naples– Naples Capodichino International Airport is in chaos due to a radar system failure reported this morning by ENAV. The malfunction has caused the cancellation of 86 flights, 43 incoming and 43 outgoing, while three flights have been diverted to Salerno.
Heavy delays accumulated, with inconvenience for thousands of passengers. According to sources from Gesac, the company that manages the airports of Naples and Salerno, the problem is linked to a mechanical malfunction of the radar, which emerged after maintenance activity conducted by Enav.
Technicians are working to restore the system, but it is not yet possible to estimate the resolution times. The precautionary reduction of incoming flights was decided to guarantee operational safety, an absolute priority for Enav.
The airport's website is down, probably due to the high number of users looking for information. Airlines are rescheduling cancelled flights, while Gesac is providing assistance to affected passengers.
Enav assures maximum commitment for a rapid return to normality, but the situation remains critical.
Naples airport is in a critical situation, with many flights cancelled and passengers in difficulty. I hope that the technicians can solve the radar problem very soon. It is important that safety is always guaranteed.
The inconvenience is really a lot, but I hope the situation will be resolved soon. Passengers deserve to receive clear and timely information about their flights.
It is truly incredible what can happen at Naples airport. Cancellations and delays are always frustrating, but it is good that the safety of travelers is given priority.
