320 flights were cancelled or diverted in north-eastern Italy due to a systems failure at Milan 's Linate airport.

Data transmission and connectivity problem encountered at the Milan Area Control Centre had been resolved.

Air traffic in the area gradually returned to normal after two hours of disruption.

Passengers affected are entitled to refunds and assistance as provided for Regulation 261/2004 .

RimborsoAlVolo says airlines must offer choice between: reimbursement of ticket and a return flight.

A flat fee of up to 600 EUR per passenger is not foreseen, since it is a case of force majeure, the delay or cancellation of the flight is not attributable to the airline's responsibility.
