🇪🇸 The Ministry of Defense of Spain is transporting immigrants from El Hierro to Madrid in military planes.
Two Airbus A330 planes from the Spanish Air and Space Force took off on Saturday from Tenerife and Gran Canaria with about 500 migrants in the direction of Torrejon, Madrid. The defense does not rule out renting additional planes in the coming hours.
These planes add to the charter flights that for weeks have been carrying immigrants from the main airports of the Canary Islands to the peninsula, with a frequency of one, two or even three every day. Their destinations are mainly Madrid, Seville, Valencia and Zaragoza. The same sources from the Ministry of Defense indicate that it will be possible to rent additional military planes in the coming hours to speed up the transfers.
