"We were stranded on our plane for two hours with no information...."
Scottish traveller says that passengers had to buy extra water
A Scottish passenger on a flight to Fez in North Africa from Palma Airport said that they were kept in the dark for two hours by cabin crew after the airport was closed due to torrential rain.
Airport closed after torrential rains
Palma airport closed this afternoon after havy rains hit.
Images of the chaos caused by the storm at Palma airport
The strong warnings regarding the weather were theoretically due to arrive on Wednesday but, as the storm advanced, it caught key facilities such as Palma airport, Son Sant Joan, completely unprepared. The flooding has caused operations to be paralysed for hours, flights to be diverted and, above all, a flooded car park that has meant an incessant parade of cars and tourists in the rain.
