The airport’s operations were severely impacted, with numerous flights being delayed or canceled. The safety of passengers and staff was the top priority, leading to the decision to halt all departures and arrivals. The hurricane, which was classified as a Category 2 storm, made landfall near the airport, causing extensive damage to the infrastructure. The strong winds uprooted trees and damaged power lines, leading to widespread power outages across the region. The airport’s water supply network was also affected, with water pipes bursting due to the heavy rainfall.

# Introduction: Navigating Stormy Skies

In the face of nature’s fury, Viva Aerobus’ flight 843 demonstrated remarkable resilience as it navigated through the tumultuous skies. The journey, which was also impacted by severe weather conditions, ultimately led to a safe landing at José Martí Airport.

The hurricane, which was initially predicted to pass near the island, instead veered northward, sparing the region from direct impact. However, the storm’s outer bands brought heavy rains and strong winds, leading to flooding and power outages in several areas.

As operations gradually return to normal, there is hope that upcoming flights will proceed without further issues.
