Unspecified radio frequency problems? Sounds serious. Makes you wonder about the tech infrastructure keeping our skies safe. Hope it's not a security issue in disguise. 🙏

Travel disruptions are the worst! I had a similar experience last year when fog hit Delhi airport. Passengers should be patient; the airlines and authorities are doing their best in an unexpected situation.

While the IAA is right to warn people, a bit more transparency from Greece about the "unspecified" problem would help build trust. In today's connected world, major airspace closures have a domino effect globally.

This shows how interconnected global aviation is. A problem in Greece affects Israel. Imagine if something similar happened in a key Indian air corridor. Our systems need to be robust to handle such rerouting.

Feel for the travellers stuck. Hope airlines provide proper refreshments and accommodation if needed. In India, we've seen how chaotic it can get during sudden cancellations. Safe travels to all! ✈️
