Switzerland closed its airspace on Wednesday following a computer malfunction with its air traffic control system that also resulted in a flight ban. The news was given by the officials of the Swiss civil aviation authority where it was stated that: “Swiss airspace is closed for air traffic for security reasons after the failure of the computer with Skyguide, the Swiss air traffic control service”.
The statement did not provide any details about the malfunction of the computer system, but said that “we apologize for this incident and its consequences for the customers, partners and passengers of Geneva and Zurich airports and that we are working to find a solution”.
Earlier, Geneva Airport said in a Twitter post that it was suspending all its flights until 11 a.m. (0900 GMT) due to a computer system failure.
The Swiss news agency “ATS-Keystone” said that international flights to Switzerland were being redirected to Milan./ REL
