Strong Winds Disrupt Flights at Tangier Airport, Forcing Diversions
Violent gusts of wind swept through northern Morocco on Monday morning, disrupting air traffic and causing the diversion of several flights destined for Tangier. Ibn Battouta airport had to redirect planes to other platforms in the country.
