Radio Frequency Failure Grounds Flights Across Greece, Stranding Thousands

Thousands of travelers were stranded in Greece as a collapse in radio frequencies crippled air traffic communication on Sunday, leading to the grounding of all flights. Airport arrivals and departures were suspended, with some overflights continuing under restrictions. The cause of the disruption, affecting the Athens Flight Information Region, is under investigation, though concerns about aging equipment have been raised. Greek airspace was expected to remain closed until mid-afternoon, causing significant delays and diversions.
