Tenerife North Airport
The second international airport of Tenerife, which is most likely , you do not have to visit, is located in the north of the island near the city of Santa Cruz and is called Tenerife Norte (TFN), or Los Rodeos (Los Rodeos)
Northern Airport is mainly focused on the service of inter-island flights and flights to the continent of Spain, and sometimes meets guests from America.
Tenerife Norte is inferior to its Southern counterpart by its size, but by no means equipped with equipment for the elderly and people with disabilities. Los Rodeos would be an excellent airport, if not for one "but". It is believed that Tenerife Norte built exactly where there should not be an airport. The big disadvantage of the Northern Airport is that because of its uncomfortable location it does not work at night and is often closed in the afternoon.
