Sand and wind affected 100,000 passengers in the Canaries

The last few hours have been chaotic at the various airports in the Canary Islands, where more than 822 flights and more than 100,000 passengers have been affected.

Gran Canaria airport was one of the most affected yesterday as dense dust and wind gusts prevented landings and take-offs for about eight hours.

According to the La Provincia, even though resigned, the passengers reported flaws in the information channels, both by Aena and the airlines.

Some companies have admitted to having serious problems in finding hotels to rehome passengers who have seen their flights canceled.

As we revealed yesterday, the German company Aida will carry out today, in the port of Funchal, an unexpected turnaround operation of 1,500 passengers on the ship ‘AIDAnova’, which was diverted from the Canaries but was canceled due to the dust of the Sahara that affects those Spanish islands.
