Binter has reported that, due to the presence of ash at La Palma Airport, it has been forced to cancel the last four flights scheduled for late Monday afternoon. The airline has made this decision as it cannot guarantee the safety of flights when operating in such conditions.

The company has indicated that it is constantly monitoring the weather and the state of ash at the airport, and will promptly inform of any changes that may occur in its flight schedule through its official channels. Currently, the rest of the programming in the Archipelago continues to develop normally.

On the other hand, the company informs that it is attending through the usual channels the requests for changes or refunds that may be received from the affected passengers in these flights. Likewise, the airline would like to remind its customers that before going to the airport, verify the status of their flight in the company's media.
