Three flights scheduled to land at Tenerife North airport on Friday have been redirected to Tenerife South due to poor visibility at the northern airfield, as reported by AENA.
Among these flights are two from Madrid and another originating from Gran Canaria.
Air traffic controllers have implemented low visibility procedures for inter-island traffic heading to Tenerife North, leading to delays for safety reasons.
Low Visibility Procedures activated at the airport #Tenerife North. Frustrated and waiting. Inter-island traffic to Los Rodeos is being held on land waiting for the situation to improve so as not to generate saturation. Security delays. #SafetyFirst pic.twitter.com/7p89hywv7G
