Tenerife North-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport has faced significant operational disruptions this Saturday due to adverse weather conditions severely impacting visibility.

Air traffic controllers have reported difficulties with landing and takeoff maneuvers, prompting several crews to perform go-around procedures after being unable to complete their initial landing attempts safely.
Consequently, air traffic control has activated holding patterns to manage the flow of aircraft within the Island's airspace, prioritizing operational safety.
Given the ongoing weather issues, some flights have been diverted to alternative airports. Adhering to air safety protocols, most of these aircraft have been rerouted to Tenerife South Airport to ensure passenger disembarkation.
Passengers with flights scheduled for the coming hours are advised to check their flight status directly with their respective airlines or through Aena's information channels, as delays and diversions may alter the afternoon schedule.
