RYR9VR (STN) and RYR5389 (NYO) are two of the maydays, and they went straight to VLC after very few minutes.
The other should be RYR2054 (PMI)
I have followed it from 20:10Z when I can see the RYR RYR2054 at LEMD, the last one to land at LEVC is RYR5389 at 21:24.
Three aircrafts were at LEMD no more than 20 minutes, what I see a normal procedure, arrive to destination and proceed to alternate, no holding or waiting at LEMD.
Also, no holding or waiting at LEVC.
I donīt know where did they get the numbers for the holdings times at Valencia, would love to know it to write them a hard letter.
