Swiss airspace reopens after computer crash in the Air Traffic Control at Skyguide
Skyguide said a technical malfunction in the early hours of Wednesday morning meant that Swiss airspace had to be closed to traffic for "security reasons".
According to Eurocontrol there is a system failure in Switzerland right now: LSAZ and LSAG (Zurich and Geneva). Zero rate regulations due to system failure. High delays. Live map https://flightradar24.com/47.01,9.38/7
Flights had continued as normal at Basel-Mulhouse airport because although Basel is in Switzerland the airport itself is on French territory and covered by French air traffic control.
Geneva airport said several flights had been cancelled but that air traffic had gradually resumed from 08:30.
One passenger at Zurich posted a picture of all the flights unable to take off.
@skyguide @zrh_airport seems like everything is grounded, can someone give an estimation how long this might take?
