Having noted ENAV's (Italian Flight Assistance Company) press release (see for details AVIONEWS), TIM points out that "data transmission is guaranteed by redundant systems whereby, should one channel fail, another backup network is activated.

The Group confirms that it has been constantly operating to monitor the situation and guarantee the levels of reliability required by the system both for the component under its own contractual responsibility and in support of ENAV.

Finally, noting that the radar operations depend on different systems referable to different operators and based on the information in our possession, TIM considers itself extraneous to the facts. We trust that the ongoing analyses will establish the chain of responsibility, also with a view to ensuring that the incident cannot be repeated".
