Spanish King Lends Pope Leo Aircraft
Paus Leo wilde na zijn bezoek aan Spanje vanmiddag vanaf Tenerife weer terugvliegen naar Rome, maar zijn gehuurde vliegtuig van Iberia kampte met technische problemen. De paus was al aan boord gegaan, maar moest het toestel weer verlaten, net als de andere passagiers. De Spaanse koning Felipe had kort daarvoor afscheid genomen van de paus en escorteerde hem terug naar de terminal. Vervolgens bood hij paus Leo een ander vliegtuig aan voor de terugreis. De Spaanse regering meld
Pope Leo was assisted by the Spanish King Felipe when his return flight from Tenerife to Rome encountered technical difficulties. The Pope and other passengers had to disembark from their Iberia flight due to an engine malfunction. King Felipe, who had just bid farewell to the Pope, personally escorted him back and offered a Spanish Air Force aircraft for his journey. The replacement plane is expected to arrive in Rome later tonight. Iberia confirmed the engine issue and arranged an alternative flight for the Pope's entourage, including Vatican staff and journalists. The Pope's visit to Spain included stops in Madrid, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands, with a focus on migration issues during his island visit.
This news matters as it highlights diplomatic assistance and the resolution of a logistical issue for a high-profile figure.
