Greece: Flight operations suspended nationwide after radio disruption

Air traffic across Greece came to a sudden halt today after a major radio frequency disruption. The unexpected incident led to the suspension of all flights, causing the airspace over Greece to empty as aircraft were grounded nationwide.

The impact was felt most sharply at Athens International Airport, where passengers gathered early in the morning only to discover flights were being delayed indefinitely or outright cancelled. Airlines and airport staff struggled to manage the unfolding chaos.
