Hundreds of Israelis stranded in popular tourist city
A storm in Barcelona disrupted airport operations: Blue Bird's flight to Tel Aviv was canceled after hours of waiting. Passengers spent the night in the terminal and were forced to find accommodation on their own, receiving neither food vouchers nor hotel rooms from the airline. The next flight is only in a day.
A storm in Barcelona disrupted the plans of hundreds of Israeli tourists. Blue Bird's flight to Tel Aviv, scheduled for 20:15, was canceled after hours of waiting on board. Passengers, including a passenger named Ari, said that around 2:00 a.m. they were asked to leave the plane, citing stormy weather, but the actual reason was the expiration of the crew's working hours. After baggage claim, the airline provided neither food vouchers nor hotel rooms, leaving passengers to fend for themselves. Some stayed at the airport until morning, while others sought hotels. The next flight was scheduled only for 23:55 the following day, meaning a wait of over 24 hours. Blue Bird promised compensation after returning to Israel.
