Pope Leo XIV's flight home from Spain was grounded so the king came to his aid
Manila Bulletin
|June 14, 2026
Even popes have travel delays. Lucky for Pope Leo XIV, King Felipe VI offered a way out, and a way home.
-
Leo's Iberia charter, due to take him back to Rome after a week-long visit to Spain, was grounded by a technical problem Friday, prompting Spain's king to offer his private jet instead.
Felipe escorted Leo to his Falcon on the tarmac at the airport in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. Leo and members of his delegation boarded the plane and took off, more than three hours after he was originally due to leave.
The glitch marked an unusual end to an otherwise successful trip to Madrid, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands. Leo pressed his migration message and also inaugurated the new tower of the Sagrada Familia basilica.
