La giant blackout<\/a><\/strong> -the first of its kind in history- which affected the entire Iberian Peninsula<\/strong> as well as the French Basque Country for a brief period, has finally been brought under control. On the morning of 29 April, the local media announced that 99% of the electricity network was operational again<\/strong>. While we continue to try to understand the reason for this giant blackout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While airport traffic has been maintained<\/strong> With the activation of the generators and electricity sources specific to the aerial platforms, the situation has not completely returned to normal. Some examples, it's still difficult to get to certain airports in the country<\/strong> - as in Madrid - due to problems with the rail network.<\/p>\n\n\n
