Nighttime chaos at Capodichino: radar failure paralyzes flights, hundreds of passengers stranded

Hundreds of passengers experienced a night of true ordeal at Naples-Capodichino International Airport due to a serious malfunction of the radar system. The incident, which occurred during the night hours between June 9 and 10, triggered a chain reaction of delays and cancellations, throwing the Neapolitan airport into chaos. According to information leaked from airport sources, the technical failure compromised the operability of arriving and departing flights, leaving an unspecified number of travellers grounded or stuck on board aircraft. Many of them remained trapped for hours inside the planes, waiting for authorizations that were delayed, turning the wait into an exhausting test of patience.

The repercussions were swift: passengers heading to the Neapolitan city or transiting to other destinations suffered flight cancellations or significant delays. This caused not only personal inconvenience but also substantial economic losses, including missed connections, canceled appointments, and lost hotel reservations.

At the moment, airport authorities have not yet released a detailed official statement regarding the extent of the malfunction and the timeline for the complete restoration of normal operations. The situation remains tense, with numerous travellers seeking information and trying to reschedule their journeys.
