Luxembourg: Flight disruptions possible at Luxembourg Airport from June 7
Luxembourg Airport (LUX) may experience flight delays and cancelations from June 7-30 after new air traffic control radar software is installed; confirm flight reservations
Event
Luxembourg’s Air Navigation Administration (ANA) is planning to install new air traffic control radar software at Luxembourg Airport (LUX) in Findel. ANA officials warned that flight disruptions, including delays and cancelations, are possible during a transition period from Friday, June 7, through Saturday, June 8. Further flight restrictions are possible through the month of June as tests are conducted and air traffic controllers become familiar with the new system. Luxair announced that it is closely following the situation and is prepared to make any necessary adjustments to its operations, including flight diversions to other airports, to reduce the impact on travelers. Other airlines may implement similar measures.
Advice
Travelers flying to or from LUX in the coming weeks, particularly from June 7-8, are advised to monitor the situation, maintain flexible itineraries, confirm flight reservations prior to leaving for the airport, and to contact their airline for additional information.
