Passengers traveling to and from Israel are expected to face widespread flight delays on Sunday due to a major communications malfunction in Greek airspace.
Because most flights on these routes pass over Greece, the disruption is not limited to takeoffs and landings but is affecting overall air traffic management across the region.
As a result, all flight paths that normally transit Greek airspace are being altered at this time, forcing airlines to reroute aircraft in real time to avoid the affected area.
For passengers, the immediate impact includes longer flight times, increased congestion in air traffic control and delays in both departures and arrivals.
The complex rerouting is affecting flights to and from multiple destinations across Europe, not only direct routes to Greece.
Travelers are advised to check directly with their airlines and verify their flight status before heading to the airport.
