A difficult situation has developed at the airports of the Canary Islands. Vacationers were not in the easiest position due to a sandstorm in the Sahara. Due to such weather conditions, visibility for aircraft decreased, and many airlines began to cancel their flights.
What is the situation like?
Flights from the airports of Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma North and South Tenerife were suspended due to sand, which, like fog, hung over the Canary Islands. Photos from those places are now more like frames from a horror movie.
Outraged passengers were advised to contact the airline to get lodging for the night if their flight was canceled. The Internet is literally crowded with pictures of people sitting on the floor waiting for at least some changes.

However, they were forced to stay on Gran Canaria for another two nights due to a sandstorm. People are upset by the fact that they have to cancel plans and sit for days on end at the airport.

Thirty-year-old Graham arrived at the airport on Saturday and only there he learned that all flights were canceled. He rode to his bride and her family. The situation is complicated by the fact that Graham is a diabetic and he constantly needs to monitor the rate of insulin in his blood. Such conditions are in no way suitable for normal life. The airport staff responded that if a critical situation occurs, they will certainly provide assistance. But such statements do not reassure. Graham noted that he was surprised how employees refuse to take responsibility for anyone, although customer care is a direct responsibility. Children and older people have no choice but to sit and sleep on the dirty floors of the airport.
