The airline company Binter has also canceled for this Sunday all the flights scheduled to La Palma until 1:30 p.m. because, as the airport authorities have notified them, until that time the Palma airport will be restricted to emergencies and military use.
La Palma Airport is inoperative from this Saturday by ash accumulation from the volcano, AENA has reported, while the rest of the Canary Islands airports remain open without news.
The Scientific Committee has reassessed the magnitude of the La Palma volcano eruption, which has gone from a value of two (out of a total of eight) to three, without this implying that there is greater explosiveness or that there is some variation in the strombolian mechanism of the natural phenomenon.
The Minister of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, Teresa Ribera, has held a meeting with researchers from the different centers of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) that carry out daily monitoring of the eruptive crisis on the island of La Palma.
At this meeting, issues that affect both the air quality and the island’s biodiversity have been discussed, especially in areas near the volcanic cone.
