Belgium. Air movement suspended by a failure
A technical failure at Skeyes, which manages the air traffic over Belgium, is responsible for communication paralysis. As her spokesman Kurt Verwilligen informed in The Brussels Times, the system is currently not functioning as required.
“Due to the technical problem in air traffic control, no air traffic in Belgium is currently possible. For now, we do not know how long it will take, “the airport reported in the communiqué.

In addition to the Zaven airport in Brussels, airports in Antwerp, Osnda, Charleroi and Liège are also turned off. All aircraft, which were in the air at the time of failure, were redirected to neighboring countries. I am talking about flights controlled by Skeyes, up to about 7,500 meters in height.
The failure was detected around 3pm. Less than two hours later, it was announced that a solution to the problem was found. “We’re going back to work,” Kurt Verwilligen from Skeyes said previously quoted. – The system works again and is stable. Air traffic can gradually resume – he assured.
