Tenerife South Airport closed to traffic
The Reina Sofia airport in South Tenerife is currently experiencing delays and diversions thanks to a plane blocking one of the runways.
According to reports, as the plane was about to take off, to an as yet undisclosed destination, two of the plane's tyres exploded, grounding the plane and rendering it immobile. Works to remove the vehicle from the runway are underway but the airport recently declared that it will be closed to traffic until at least 7.30pm tonight. If you are due to travel or meet an incoming flight it is best to speak to the individual carrier to confirm new arrival / departure information. Some journeys may be cancelled whilst others will be diverted to different airports.
