Storm in Bodø: Juventus forced to leave Norway late

After the valuable victory in the Champions League, Luciano Spalletti's team was supposed to leave the country this morning, but a violent wave of bad weather disrupted the plans.

Sudden bad weather and paralyzed air traffic

In the early hours of the day, the weather conditions in the Bodø airport area rapidly worsened. Airport authorities reported widespread ice on the runways, a phenomenon that caused numerous cancellations and delays for the entire regional air traffic.

"The runways were not in safe conditions for takeoff," airport sources explained, emphasizing how the intense frost required additional technical interventions before authorizing any movement.

Juventus grounded longer than expected

The departure of the Juventus charter was scheduled for noon, but the weather alert forced a postponement. The team reached the airport around 12:45, waiting for security checks and an update on the runway status.

Only at 1:30 PM was clearance given for takeoff towards Turin. "The safety of passengers is a priority, and the operations took longer than expected," the staff might have communicated, highlighting the necessary caution in such unstable environmental conditions.

A delayed but controlled return

Despite the delay, the situation remained fully under logistical control. Juventus was able to leave Bodø with minimal impact on the post-trip activity schedule.
