Storm Charles disrupts air traffic in the Iberian Peninsula on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Departing from Nice Côte d’Azur airport, two flights to Lisbon and Madrid are announced as cancelled. Bad weather is also expected to reach southeastern France starting Thursday.
Storm Charles is causing disruptions at several airports in southern Europe. As Portugal and Spain face difficult weather conditions, the consequences are already being felt on air links from Nice.
According to the first information available on the specialized site FlightRadar24, two flights departing from Nice Côte d’Azur airport are affected on Wednesday, November 11. The flight to Lisbon, scheduled for 11:55 a.m., has been cancelled. A second flight to Madrid, with departure scheduled for 7 p.m., is also among the announced cancellations.
Over 300 flights cancelled in Lisbon and Madrid
The disruptions are also directly affecting the two Iberian capitals. At Lisbon airport, 183 flights are currently announced as cancelled, representing 33% of normal traffic. In Madrid, 155 flights are also affected, representing 13% of the platform’s usual activity.
The weather situation could also deteriorate in southeastern France. After hitting the Iberian Peninsula, Storm Charles is set to reach France starting Thursday, November 12. According to Météo-France forecasts, a vast southern part of the country will be affected by this weather system, with sometimes stormy rainfall in the southeastern quarter.
On the Côte d’Azur, these weather conditions could also lead to further disruptions. Travelers departing from Nice are therefore advised to check flight information with their airline before heading to the airport.
