Pope Leon XIV experienced travel disruptions upon returning from a visit to Spain. The Iberia aircraft scheduled to transport the Pope was unable to depart, prompting a change in travel plans. King Felipe VI of Spain provided a private plane for the Pope to continue his journey. As a result of the unexpected aircraft switch, the customary in-flight press conference with journalists was cancelled. Details surrounding the mechanical issue with the original Iberia flight remain limited. The incident caused a temporary alteration to the Pope’s scheduled return. No injuries or further complications were reported.
