At 6 p.m. local time on Sunday, AENA, the state-controlled airport management company, announced on twitter that the affected airports of Madrid, the Balearic and Canary Islands, and the Spanish archipelago off the coast of West Africa are operating normally.
According to Spanish newspaper Le Mundo, in the early morning flights suffered delays and some were canceled.
In order to help the remaining quarter of a million affected passengers over the weekend, the paper reports the Barcelona Airport scheduled 44 additional flights.
According to a previous report from The Epoch Times, the spontaneous walkout by traffic controllers followed on the heels of last Friday's approval by the Spanish Cabinet of a plan to partially privatize AENA, which could result in longer shiftwork.
Air traffic controllers returned to work after Spanish President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero ordered a military takeover of the airport.
