Location

Tenerife, Spain

Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport, known by its IATA code TFN and ICAO code GCXO, is one of two international airports serving the island of Tenerife in Spain's Canary Islands. It is located near the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage city, and sits at an elevation of approximately 632 metres above sea level. The airport primarily handles domestic flights to mainland Spain and inter-island services within the Canary Islands, complementing the larger Tenerife Sur Airport (TFS) which serves most international charter and leisure traffic. Iberia and Binter Canarias are among the key carriers operating here. Despite being the older and smaller of Tenerife's two airports, TFN plays a vital role in connecting the island's northern population centres, including the capital Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with the rest of Spain and neighbouring islands.
