“The entire operation is proceeding normally and I said the first to disembark will be the Spanish citizens, and then the flight to the Netherlands will depart,” Garcia said prior to the passengers’ beginning of their departures from the ship.<\/p>\n

Flights were planned for passengers who were headed to Canada, Turkey, France, Great Britain, Ireland and the United States, she said.<\/p>\n
