A widespread blackout that hit Portugal and parts of Spain on Monday (28) caused a distressing situation for a family: a mother was trapped at the airport, unable to travel, while her daughter went into labor in Barcelona.
The incident occurred amid a series of inconvenience caused by electric failure, which affected several sectors, including air transport.
Passengers faced cancellations and postponements of flights, creating a scenario of uncertainty and concern at affected airports.
Impact on air services
The blackout had a significant impact on airport operations, leading to large -scale delays and cancellations.
The situation was particularly critical for travelers with urgent commitments, as in the case of the mother trying to reach Barcelona for the birth of her grandson.
Airport authorities and airlines worked to minimize inconvenience, but the widespread nature of blackout made it difficult for a quick response. Many passengers were out of information about when they could resume their travels.
