A reader of La Voz wanted to denounce the "lack of medical service" at the César Manrique Airport after the death of a man last Thursday, May 2. For its part, Aena has stated that the airport has "the specific personnel to attend to all passengers".
According to the woman's account, the man died in the facilities of the César Manrique Airport. The "tragic event" occurred at around five in the morning before the "impotence of passengers and workers", according to a reader. The woman is outraged by what she considers an "injustice" that the deceased had to experience. "If there had been one, perhaps this man would have had the opportunity to live and he has not had it," she added sadly.
In her account of how the events unfolded, the citizen highlighted that the man "died alone near the entrance of the security filter while waiting for the arrival of the 1-1-2 ambulance. When the health services arrived, "nothing could be done for him," she revealed.
In her judgment, the witness considers that it is "inconceivable that something like this happens in the 21st century." "Hopefully someone will read this and can take action. Meanwhile, we have no choice but to lament the death and offer our condolences to the family. Rest in peace the passenger who could not return to his home," she concluded sadly.
However, Aena explains that the airport has specific personnel to attend to all passengers. "First aid and transfer to the medical center are guaranteed, either in person or through 1-2-2," they emphasized.
Finally, the company also wanted to state that it "complies at all times with the regulations" and that the terminals have "defibrillators and personnel trained for their use, as well as training in first aid."
