No aircraft took off from Kloten Airport for around two hours on Monday afternoon. The reason was a technical malfunction. Landings were always possible.
The problem was with the air traffic control Skyguide, as a media spokeswoman told the news agency Keystone-SDA. It was a technical problem, she confirmed a report by "Blick".
As Zurich Airport announced in the evening, the disruption had an impact on flight schedules and meteorological data. Between 2:30 and 4:30 p.m., no more aircraft took off. Landings were still possible.
