Heavy fog caused eight flights bound for Seville to be diverted to other regional airports today, Saturday, January 7
The thick fog with which Seville woke up to this morning forced the diversion of ten flights to San Pablo Airport. Eventually, after being diverted, eight planes landed in Malaga and two in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz).
Spanish airport operator Aena said that the fog had finally dissipated on the runways at San Pablo Seville, which allowed the airport to return to “normality” around 11:30 am.
It is not uncommon for airports to experience disruptions due to bad weather, such as fog, thunderstorms, or strong winds. These types of conditions can affect visibility, make it difficult for planes to take off or land safely, and lead to flight delays or diversions.
