Nice airports in Tenerife

The airports of the largest of all Canary Islands are relatively big and very modern with all amenities of western airports of today without the danger of really getting lost inside.

The only thing I haven't spotted there are baggage storage facilities such as lockers.

However, provided are public transport with some limitations concerning public holidays and late hours, spacious car parking facilities, and even medical attendance.

( They say that it has become awkward to reach public transport from TFS Reina Sofia, nowadays.)

Airport services like transfer to hotels and holiday home in Tenerife:

Always book airport transfers with or without shuttles including Tenerife airport taxis and luxury mini buses, in advance. You'll be only too glad to have this service waiting when arriving at a Tenerife airport.

Whatever you book on line regarding Tenerife transfer is usually of good quality and service while you may be unlucky and have an unpleasant surprise, even, when you catch a taxi straight at the airport without pre-booking.

Safer and better, definitely, applies to car rental as well as to Tenerife transfer, only when you pre-book.

Use car rental Tenerife airports and pre-book on-line to get exactly the car you wanted and in best condition waiting for you.

Additional Tenerife information on airports:

Please, find some more information in separate official home pages on both the island's airports as follows:

Information on North Airport which is called Aeropuerto del Norte by Tinerfeños or simply Los Rodeos or TFN in flight infos.

Information on South Airport which is called Aeropuerto del Sur by the locals and Spanish or just Reina Sofia airport or TFS in flight infos.

Tenerife airport travelers in numbers:

Figures given of the amount of passengers handled at both airports vary so much over the Internet that you may only wonder and shake your head.

Have a look at correct statistics Aena.es and you'll see that all others are highly exaggerated and are in reality way below 10 million per year, combined. Unfortunately, it's not allowed to copy their numbers.

What counts is that Tenerife airports are busy, efficient and pleasant and have planned many more improvements until year 2020.

Airport flight safety in Tenerife:

Tenerife airports are, nowadays, equipped with sophisticated software for weather information and flight safety by a flight security system hosted at Helsinki which coordinates 17 airports within Spain.
I rather not give the system's name because of security reasons and most probably copy right.

Los Rodeos is one of the island's airports which also has an emergency army fire unit of 90 professional fire fighters on standby stationed in close vicinity.
This has been implemented by the Spanish Government as promised after the great wildfire danger of midsummer 2007.

This is also interesting as Los Rodeos airport has a fatal flight accident history of 2 collided jumbo jets on March 27, 1977 partly due to bad visibility.

Personal experiences TFS and TFN airports:

My Spanish friend Gretta experienced an unexpected emergency after an operation when she shouldn't have traveled that early and was attended by a doctor at Reina Sofia at 11 p.m. to her full satisfaction.
We were traveling together to the south airport although our travel destinations varied. I may only assume that this service may be equally good for both Tenerife airports.

While the southern of the island's airports is usually sunny and bright and will greet you with picture book blue skies and sun bathed, subtropical surroundings the northern one may be different, at times.
