FLIGHTS from Southampton airport to Majorca have been delayed until further notice following a deadly bomb blast on the Spanish island earlier today.
The weekly Thomson service to Palma - which was due to fly out this afternoon - has been put on hold indefinitely.
It follows a bomb attack near a police station on the island, today, in which two officers were killed and several people injured.
The blast came a day after a car-bomb blamed on Basque separatists ETA left scores injured in northern Spain.
The Civil Guard said the bomb was planted in the Palmanova beach resort area, south-west of the holiday island's capital of Palma.
Yesterday's blast injured around 60 people at a police barracks in the northern city of Burgos.
ETA has killed more than 825 people since it launched a campaign in 1968 for an independent homeland in Basque region of northern Spain.
A spokesman from Southampton Airport said: "Today's Thomson service from Southampton to Majorca has remained in Southampton as a result of today's activities, and will do so until further information becomes available.
"Passengers are being kept informed."
