The machine of a Moroccan company has to stop because someone feels uncomfortable on board. A group of passengers used the break to get off the plane.
According to media reports, the international airport of Palma de Mallorca suspended all take-offs and landings on Friday evening due to passengers on the runway. The airport operator Aena wrote on Twitter that air traffic had been suspended due to an incident when passengers disembarked.
Several approaching passenger planes, including at least one flight from Germany, had to be rerouted to other airports such as Menorca or Ibiza, as indicated on the Aena website. Machines that were ready to start could not take off.
The people on the Son Sant Joan airfield were passengers on a Royal Air Maroc aircraft, the newspaper writes Diario de Mallorca. The machine landed on Mallorca in an unscheduled manner because a passenger was uncomfortable on the way to Turkey, the newspaper reported El País. While an ambulance was expected to arrive, a group of ten to twenty passengers left the plane, ran across the airfield and then went into hiding. The police are looking for them. Why people left the plane was initially unknown.
