The adverse weather recorded this Friday, June 5, 2026, has caused operational disruptions at Tenerife North-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport, with 7 flight diversions occurring.

The situation primarily affected connections destined for Tenerife North from various airports, both within the Canary Islands and from the Iberian Peninsula. Consequently, several flights had to be diverted to other airfields in the Archipelago.
According to data provided by Aena, one flight originating from Gran Canaria was diverted to La Palma. Another 2 flights from Gran Canaria were rerouted back to the Gran Canaria airport itself. Additionally, a flight originating from La Palma had to be diverted to Tenerife South Airport.
Flights from the Iberian Peninsula were also affected. Specifically, a flight originating from Madrid and another from Barcelona were diverted to Tenerife South. Added to these is a flight originating from Fuerteventura, which was also diverted to Tenerife South Airport.
The majority of the diversions were directed to Tenerife South, which received 4 out of the 7 flights affected by the weather situation at Tenerife North. These incidents occurred on a day marked by adverse weather at TFN, a factor that can particularly influence this airport's operations due to its location and the presence of phenomena such as low visibility, wind, or cloudiness.
