Pope Leo XIV was assisted by the Spanish Air Force following a mechanical failure of his aircraft. The incident occurred while the Pope was attempting to return to Rome. To resolve the situation, King Felipe VI offered the use of a military Falcon jet. The King opted to remain on the island for several hours to facilitate the Pope's departure. This gesture ensured the Pontiff could continue his journey without significant delay. The operation highlighted the coordination between the Spanish monarchy and military assets. The Pope was successfully transported after the aircraft substitution.
