Spain has reopened its airspace Saturday 4th December after it was closed as a result by a strike by air traffic controllers, the country's airport authority said.

The nation's AENA airport authority said airspace was reopened after the majority of striking air traffic controllers returned to work Saturday afternoon and that conditions had returned to "normal."

A spokeswoman for the authority said that there was an adequate number of controllers at Madrid's airport Saturday afternoon to handle 30 takeoffs and landings per hour, about a third the usual traffic.
