It is notable that the flights are emergency flights for flights that were canceled during the passage of Hurricane Beryl, the first hurricane of the season. The storm has caused devastation on islands such as Grenada, Carriacou and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, with the loss of 90% of the infrastructure and four deaths.

Due to the hurricane, airports and flights have been canceled to avoid accidents as the sky is full of black clouds. The Caribbean has been affected by flash floods, heavy rains and thunderstorms from Saturday to Monday.

Interestingly, team India and South Africa were also stranded in Barbados due to the flight disruption and destruction at Grantley Adams International Airport on Sunday. The final of the tournament was held on Saturday in Barbados.
