Multiple flights scheduled for Saturday at the airport of La Palma, one of the Canary Islands, have been canceled due to the ash cloud escaping from the Cumbre Vieja volcano, which has been erupting for nearly a month.
“The evolution of the ash cloud, coming from the volcanic eruption of La Palma, forces us to temporarily keep the planes in connection with the island on the ground until Sunday,” said the airline Binter in a statement.
Thirty of the 34 flights scheduled for Saturday have been cancelled, according to the Spanish airports manager, Aena. In addition, the airport had to close twice due to difficult conditions.
The volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma did not cause any casualties, but caused serious damage and evacuation of 7,000 people, some of whom lost everything under lava flows.
