🇮🇹🚨Solidarity with workers at the Ciampino control tower
The ETF expresses its full solidarity with the workers of the ENAV Group who were victims of a violent attack at the control tower of Ciampino airport, in Italy, earlier this week. We wish a fast recovery to all people involved.
An individual was able to break through the security system of the tower, assaulting multiple workers, take control over highly sensitive equipment and set fire to it. This has put in evidence the urgent need for authorities in Italy and all across Europe to assess and improve the security levels of their air traffic management and overall airport facilities.
The ETF stands with ATM workers in their demands for more resources and monitoring to make their workplaces safe and sound.
As we all rely on these workers to guarantee a safe airspace, more must be done to guarantee safety in their own workplaces.
