Role in the home of kings of Spain: they have not found the stairs to get off the plane

The arrival of the kings of Spain was accompanied this Sunday evening to Aeroparque by a blooper. Airport workers did not succeed find the scale so that Felipe VI and Letizia can get off the camera for about 40 minutes, so that the reception ceremony ends one hour later provided that.

Despite the fact that the official plane in which the two highest authorities of the Kingdom of Spain arrived arrived at the airport Jorge Newbery, near 21 hours, an unforeseen incident forcing them to stay inside the plane almost an hour.

What happened was that the arrival of the official Spanish aircraft did not provide, because of its particular size, a special ladder allowing pbadengers to descend.

The first stairway approached by the operators of Aeroparque did not reach the necessary height, so it was necessary to go to plan B. To do this, the authorities decided to seize the scale of the national presidency used by Mauricio Macri . To get to this official gateway, they had to access a hangar with a security system allowing only access via a fingerprint.

The unusual delay can also be attributed to the fact that big plane they usually land at the international airport of Ezeizaand other smaller ones operate in the metropolitan airport.

As the pilot Carlos Rinzelli explained to TN"In general, it's about using a fixed ladder, if we had a sliding ladder, it should always work without problems, otherwise it is coordinated in advance and even more so when it comes to the kings of Spain ".

"These types of stairs are very well preserved in the hangars belonging to Intercargo or in official hangar of the presidency like the one used for the plane in this case. It is a piece of paper of considerable magnitude, "concluded Rinzelli.

The uncomfortable situation also involved Chancellor Jorge Faurie, responsible for directing the reception of the protocol to King Felipe VI and Letizia. After the delay, on the track and around 10 pm, they were also received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, ambbadadors Ramón Puerta and Spain's ambbadador to Argentina, Javier Sandomingo, before 39, be transferred to the Four Seasons Hotel.

The scheduled official agenda will start on Monday and will continue until Wednesday 27, when they will travel to Córdoba to inaugurate the International Congress of the Spanish Language (CILE). This visit is the first official in the country of a Spanish head of state for nearly 16 years, since the last was that of King Juan Carlos in Sofia in November 2003.
