ATHENS, Jan 4 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- A radio frequency problem severely disrupted air traffic in Greece on Sunday morning, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
In a statement, the country’s civil aviation authority said that some frequencies serving the Athens FIR (Flight Information Region) experienced problems, which eventually led to restrictions on air traffic across the country’s international and regional airports.
Public broadcaster ERT confirmed that the technical problem affected all flights to and from the country, adding that work to restore air traffic was under way.
The Kathimerini newspaper, meanwhile, reported that preliminary reports pointed to a circuit failure.
The precise cause or origin of the problem, however, has not yet been determined, the paper said, adding that it is not clear when normal operations will be restored.
