Sara spent more than six hours trapped on the plane of Ryanair that had to take her from the Manises airport, in Valencia, to Dublin this Tuesday before the weather conditions allowed her flight to take off. The DANA, which has punished the east of the country throughout the day, has prevented this young student and the rest of the passengers from leaving before nine at night for their destination, after not a short time of uncertainty.
This Valencian, currently on Erasmus in Dublin, boarded after three in the afternoon this Tuesday without knowing the odyssey that awaited her on board the plane. Stranded on the runwayhave waited patiently for control to authorize departure, not knowing if they could undertake the trip this Tuesday or should wait until the next day.
«The pilot speaks to us every hourhe informs us, but not much is known either. People are more or less calm, some were getting up… The stewards don’t seem to have much information either,” this young woman told ‘ABC’ from the plane shortly before takeoff, which took place around 9:20 p.m. hours.
Before leaving, and with three hours of travel ahead, the plane has passed through two checks to check if it could take off: «In the first one they told us no. In the second they explained to us that we would leave in 25 minutes, but later they told us that it was going to take a little longer.
The storm that hits the Valencian Community and other areas of the eastern peninsula this Tuesday has forced to cancel 10 flights from Manises airport (Valencia) already diverted another 12 before landing.
The DANA has caused havoc this Tuesday in the eastern part of the country, where it has caused the derailment of a train in Álora (Málaga) and the cutting of railway circulation between Valencia and the cities of Madrid and Barcelona. The storm leaves, for the moment, seven missing and hundreds of incidents, in addition to shocking images of floods and torrential rains.
