MAJOR international airlines have announced a total of 26 new direct flight routes to and from Tenerife to meet growing demand.
Head of the island council for Tenerife – known as the Cabildo – Carlos Alonso and his tourism leader Alberto Bernabé have been in talks with British Airways, Norwegian, SunExpress, Vueling, Brussels, Lufthansa and Croatia Airlines during a flight path development conference in South Africa.
Britain, Germany and mainland Spain have shown a higher output of tourists this year and bookings are up already for the winter season, when the Canary Islands' weather tends to be warmer and sunnier than the rest of the country.
A total of 10 direct British Airways routes, seven to Tenerife South (pictured) and three to Tenerife North have been pledged by the UK carrier, whilst Lufthansa has expressed its satisfaction at sales results for its new flight planned from Munich for the winter season.
