Heavy rains paralyze airport on Spanish island of Mallorca

Heavy rains have caused significant flooding at the airport of Palma, the capital of Mallorca of Spain, grounding flights on Wednesday. The storm brought all activity to a halt at Son Sant Joan airport due to the "impossibility of operating safely", operator Aena said in a statement. The airport activated its emergency plan and flights to Mallorca were temporarily re-routed to alternative airports.
