Pope Leo XIV faced significant travel disruption after his charter flight, an Iberia Airbus A320, was grounded in the Canary Islands due to a technical issue. In a remarkable gesture, King Felipe VI of Spain lent the Pope his royal private jet for the return journey to the Vatican. This unexpected turn of events followed a busy trip where the Pope held Mass and addressed pressing issues, including a stern warning to migrant traffickers. The King personally assisted the Pope with his travel difficulties, ensuring a smooth passage home despite the setbacks.
