Official Spotting Locations

There are no official spotting areas at Tenerife Norte.

Other Spotting Locations

Runway 30 Threshold

The spottingpoint at Runway 30 Threshold
Line Up RWY 30 Air Europa A330-200

This is the main spotting area at Tenerife Norte. The 'TF-24' road runs south of the eastern end of the runway, and there is a side road from here offering a good view of aircraft touching down and lining up on Runway 30. This location also offers a reasonable view of aircraft departing from Runway 12, although only heavies such as the Iberia A340 will rotate close to this area. The spot is regularly used by local spotters so providing you park in the side road rather than on the main road there should be no problem with police etc.
