Why the Blackout in Greece Is a Warning for Global Aviation
01/16/2026
The recent air traffic control blackout across Greece on January 4th, which grounded flights during the 2026 holiday rush, serves as another urgent reminder of the risks tied to aging infrastructure. Attributed to "ancient" radio systems and degrading backbones, this failure echoes the 2025 Newark Airport outages, making it clear that mission-critical aviation cannot wait any longer to modernize.
TC Communications offers proven solutions to help aviation and public safety organizations migrate away from these unreliable, decades-old systems and onto secure, fiber-based IP networks.
Our Airfield Case Study illustrates how TC solved these exact connectivity issues by migrating an entire airfield communications system from deteriorating copper to a high-performance fiber network.
Organizations still relying on degrading copper wires or obsolete RF backbones can take action today to future-proof their critical operations. Contact TC Communications to discuss your migration strategy and ensure your network is ready for the demands of 2026 and beyond. You can also visit our Aviation Solutions page below.
