SANTA CRUZ DE LA PALMA, Oct 8 (EUROPA PRESS) –
La Palma airport continues to be inoperative due to the accumulation of ashes, while the cleaning work continues, as reported by Aena, which states that it follows the instructions of Enaire, which is the airspace manager, underlining that the priority is the security.
For their part, the rest of the Canary Islands airports are operational, although cancellations and diversions to Tenerife South have begun in Tenerife North due to the fact that the volcanic ash cloud has turned to the east, the air traffic controllers point out.
Thus, Binter has already canceled four flights with Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and El Hierro – plus those planned with La Palma – and there are various diversions to Tenerife South, eight so far, of domestic flights from Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia .
