The extreme cold of the last few days is also beginning to be felt in the connections between the island and the rest of the world. The first planes departing from Elmas airport are waiting to be able to take off. But the planes are frozen and the flights are delayed .
The situation at 6 in the morning immediately proved to be uncertain. The cars parked in the airport suffered the effects of the cold: the thermometer in Elmas during the night reached -1 . The plane for Krakow, first on the list, should have taken off at 5.45, but, after starting the boarding procedures, the assistance staff had the passengers back in line, waiting for an improvement in the conditions of the runway and the airplanes .
In front of the gates, there is so much nervousness among people, who are looking for a place to sit to pass the time.
The 6.45 am flight to Rome also left three hours late , and those who had to take the connection to the United States missed it.
