All go (or stop as the case may be) when a Jet2 Airbus A330 burst four tyres and blocked the runway.

This was at 13.42. Since then there have been no arrivals or departures from Tenerife South with flights being diverted to Las Palmas, Aricefe, lisbon, Faro or cancelled completely.

Made for a really quiet afternoon in El Medano, I can tell you!

It has been reported that the airport has now re-opened and any flights already on their way and diverted will be re-diverted back onto their original course.

If of interest, this Plane was originally a R.A.F. refueller in R.A.F. colours then fitted as Passenger carrier with pipes left

if required to convert it back. New 2014 I think.

Glad the runway is cleared as midnight was forecast earlier..

I sometimes miss Vortex Wake...............................

They are indeed flying in and out.
Guessing it is going to be a noisy evening here on the flightpath....
