Palma De Mallorca Airport Resumes Operations After Storm Flooding

Planes resume flights following an FAA system outage at Laguardia Airport in New York

Flights at Palma de Mallorca airport in Mallorca, Spain, were suspended on Tuesday due to a sudden storm that flooded the runways. Video footage captured water gushing through the airport terminal's roof, while photos showed floodwaters nearly reaching the bottom of plane engines.

The airport operator, AENA, stated that operations were 'temporarily suspended' as flooding affected part of the facility. Spain's state weather service, AEMET, reported that 71.8 millimeters of rain fell at the airport station in just four hours, marking the first rainfall in a week.
