Tenerife South – Friday 22nd February & Friday 1st March 2019 (John Tomlinson)

We arrived at Tenerife South-Reina Sofia~Tenerife on time after an uneventful trip.

My arrival and departure visits to the airport are report below.

However during the trip, of which I was not expecting too much, I was fortunate to get a 5th floor pool / sea view at our hotel in Los Cristianos. This allowed me to see arrivals at Tenerife South and as they were using runway 08, which is from the South West. I could normally see the aircraft from 3500ft to about 1500ft and also saw a few helicopters as they hovered around Los Cristianos.

If you are interested in flyovers, unfortunately not many will be seen. I did have a few, but the air lanes tend to be a little too far to the West as well as the East of Tenerife.

Over the week, as I relaxed on the 8th Floor adults only pool area, I tended to read my books and monitor the aircraft from 1000hrs till getting back to the room at around 1800hrs. I had a few breaks in between for little walks, so I was not monitoring aircraft all day. Over this time period I was seeing between 75 and 100 flights per day and in total I noted 502 flights. Once I removed the repeats, I actually saw 366 DIFFERENT aircraft during the period. Many were standard European bucket and spade airlines, however the odd business jets and the star, HK-5305 Airbus A320 214(SL) came in on the Saturday morning on delivery to Viva Air Colombia.

For the record, after my two short reports below, I have listed the airlines noted and the numbers of different aircraft.
