The mayor of Granadilla de AbonaJennifer Miranda, reported this Thursday that she has reached an agreement with the taxi industry in it Tenerife South airport to “protocolize” the circumstances of customer collection by taxis from Arona and Adeje. Miranda regrets that “no one from the Cabildo of Tenerife, much less the president, Rosa Dávila” has contacted the council and the taxi association to learn “first-hand” about the service provided. The mayor of Granadilla de Abona has condemned the statements of the president of the Cabildo, Rosa Dávila, because, as she says, she accused Granadilla of “having the Airport kidnapped.” In recent weeks there have been long queues to catch a taxi at the airport arrivals terminal, with waits of more than an hour.
These are the kilometer-long queues to take a taxi when arriving at the Tenerife South airport @AeropuertosTFE @aena right now
This cannot happen in an airport that is among the top five in Spain and on an island that is a top-level tourist destination. It’s intolerable pic.twitter.com/53LFlqGOHt

Miranda thus assures that “the only kidnapping” are the lines that southern citizens “suffer” when they go to or come from their jobs. The mayor of Granadilla made these statements after holding a meeting with the Granadilla Taxi Association and the Taxi Federation, FEDETAX. “Appropriate steps are being taken to continue improving the service provided at the Airport, in direct contact with the main experts in the service, such as taxi drivers.” She has urged people to avoid solving the problem through statements in the media, because for her it generates distrust in the economic sector.
Finally, Miranda has rejected the declaration of the Tenerife South Airport as a sensitive area and has insisted that the “real problem” in the south of Tenerife are “the very long” queues on the highway, a circumstance that “affects citizens and about which “The institution continues to remain silent, without providing a solution.”
