Storm Nils is battering the Balearic Islands this Thursday, with wind gusts already exceeding 60 km/h and forecast by the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (Aemet) to reach up to 90 km/h.

As a result, all flights scheduled to depart from Ibiza Airport during the early hours of the morning have been delayed, although no cancellations have been reported so far.
