L'avion du pape en panne : Iberia humiliée sous les yeux du monde, Felipe sauve la situation
Pope Leo XIV flies back to the Vatican aboard an aircraft provided by King Felipe VI of Spain (left) following a technical issue that prevented the original plane from departing from Tenerife International Airport, Canary Islands on June 12, 2026 on the last day of the pastoral visit to Spain. The Holy See staff and journalists on the Papal Flight will return in the next few hours on another plane provided by Iberia. The papal flight of the company Iberia carrying Leo XIV back to Rome from Tenerife was about to begin takeoff when an announcement from the captain explained the situation to those on board, and a few minutes later, king Felipe himself, who had just bid farewell to Leo XIV, boarded the plane to invite the pontiff to disembark and wait in the VIP lounge at the Tenerife air base for the problem to be resolved. In an announcement after Leo XIV had left the plane, the captain said the engine had probably been unable to start because of the wind. He said the plane would be towed so it faced the wind and they would try starting the engine again.
