Intense rainfall has caused significant disruptions at Ibiza Airport, with several areas closed off due to severe leakage, as captured in images and videos shared by travellers. Overflowing with water, the terminal has had to resort to using bins to catch leaking rain, and access to parking areas is similarly flooded. Air traffic controllers reported on social media that the runway is currently impassable, leading to a rerouting of numerous flights to alternative locations. The situation is part of a broader weather pattern that has affected various Spanish airports, with delays and diversions stemming from thunderstorms and staff shortages in cities like Alicante, Barcelona, and Málaga. An official red alert for torrential rain persists over Ibiza and Formentera, with authorities closely monitoring the storm dubbed 'Adam'. Travellers are encouraged to stay informed as the situation unfolds. Detailed figures on the extent of flight disruptions remain unconfirmed at this stage.
