Scare at Valencia airport, where on Saturday, the presence of an individual on top of an aircraft caused moments of tension and nervousness among passengers, crew and airport staff. The man, a 24-year-old of Moroccan origin, walked for about ten minutes on top of the aircraft, a Vueling Airbus A320 covering the Valencia-Amsterdam route, which was delayed by about two and a half hours as a result of this incident.

Finally, Guardia Civil officers managed to persuade the man, who was taken to a health centre due to his delicate mental state, drawing attention to the backpack he left on the aircraft, a situation that heightened the tension.

Finally, he was arrested and will be charged with a violation of the Aviation Security Act. The plane was finally able to take off for the Dutch capital, albeit with a significant delay. The video went viral on social media, especially through the Air Traffic Controllers’ social media account on X.
