Tenerife South Airport (IATA: TFS, ICAO: GCTS), previously known as Tenerife South-Reina Sofia Airport, is one of two international airports located on the island of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands (the second one being Tenerife North Airport). The airport is the busier of the two Tenerife airports.

The airport is located in the municipality of Granadilla de Abona and was inaugurated on 6 November 1978, by Queen Sofía of Spain, to whom the airport is dedicated; by the end of its first year, 1 million passengers had passed through its doors.

The public bus service TITSA offers cheap and quick services to all parts of the island, Line 343 connects the South Airport (TFS) with the North Airport (TFN)

Tenerife South handled over 8.5 million passengers in 2012. Combined with Tenerife North Airport, the island gathers the highest passenger movement in the Canary Islands with 12,248,673 passengers.^[1]

History

In the late 1960s, the island authorities of Tenerife said they needed a new airport at a new location as the existing airport did not meet technical requirements due to adverse weather conditions.

In 1977, the control tower, terminal building and taxiways were completed before the world's worst aviation accident occurred at Tenerife North Airport in March.

The airport was opened by Queen Sofía on 6 November 1978. The first flight was an Iberia running flight IB187 from Lanzarote, which was operated by a McDonnell Douglas DC-9. The flight landed at 10:17.^[3]
