Pope Leon XIV was briefly evacuated from an Iberia aircraft on Tenerife Island on Friday prior to scheduled departure. The evacuation occurred after the pilot announced an unspecified technical problem with the plane. Passengers were informed of the issue, leading to a temporary suspension of the flight. Details regarding the nature of the technical fault have not been released. The Pope safely disembarked as a precautionary measure while the issue was assessed. It remains unclear when the flight will resume, but authorities are working to resolve the problem and ensure passenger safety. The Polish Press Agency (PAP) first reported the incident.
