Palma de mallorca airport closed due to flooding

In June 2024, heavy flooding hit Spain. The island of Mallorca was mostly affected by heavy rains. Tourists were stranded. Palma de Mallorca Airport was closed, and flights were diverted. The Costa Blanca region was hit by hail storms. Murcia was also affected. A number of flights from Palma Airport on the island of Mallorca have been delayed after torrential rains flooded runways and sent water pouring through duty-free. Extreme rainstorms hit the Spanish island on Tuesday, grounding flights and temporarily bringing the airport to a standstill. Flights to and from the airport have resumed following the deluge, but at least 21 departures from Palma Airport were delayed. A total of 9 cm of rainfall fell in less than an hour.
