Swiss air navigation service provider Skyguide has also been affected by the global IT disruption since this morning. As an immediate precautionary measure, the air navigation service provider has reduced the capacity of Swiss transit traffic by 30 per cent. At the request of Zurich Airport, Skyguide does not accept further approaches at this time. This does not affect flights that are already in the air. Skyguide is currently operating without restrictions at Geneva Airport. Corporate IT is also partially affected. Safety in Swiss airspace is guaranteed.
