Black hole over SW France

[frenchman]

Can anyone who know explain why there is a total absence of any apparent air traffic south and west of a line La Rochelle to Marseilles in France on the flightradar 24 , specifically over the Midi Pyrenees and Aquitaine region yet our sky is criss crossed by vapour trails and seems to be a main European Air crossroad for all traffic to the iberian Penninsular, West Affrica and South America Sometimes there are more than 12 trails visible. We have our own Main airports at Bordeaux, Toulouse, Bergerac, Agen, Carcasonne,Perpignan to name a few. Seems odd.

Hi welcome to the Forum, we had this problem the other day and it seems to be a problem with the Radar: LFBD that feeds area. ( It did come back on the day it happened, maybe they have P.C. problems. )

Here is the thread about the problem:

Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
