This flight ended up being the last one to land and then take off from San Juan Airport before all air traffic over Puerto Rico was completely closed due to the hurricane.

Irma is by some estimates the most powerful hurricane to have ever been observed in the Atlantic Ocean outside the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. On the islands of the Caribbean Sea, several people have already become its victims, a large number of settlements have been destroyed.

Earlier it was reported that “Irma” forced to make a detour the plane of the Pope, who was heading for a visit to Colombia.
