RunwayTenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport
Multi-Universe Rankings & Statistical Standing
🔬 Operational & Aerodrome Engineering Comparative Analysis
Elevation & Atmospheric Density
Operating at 2,076 ft (633 m MSL), true airspeed (TAS) on approach and takeoff roll is moderately higher than indicated airspeed (IAS). Engines experience slight thrust lapse under elevated summer temperatures, necessitating conservative density-altitude dispatch calculations for fully laden twin-engine commercial transports.
Regional Density & Alternates (100 NM)
Within its 100 NM cluster of 2 neighboring aerodromes, Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport is supported by major regional alternatives. Notably, Tenerife Sur Airport (TFS) lies just 29 NM away with a 10,499 ft runway, offering reliable operational redundancy for commercial diversions and congested airspace rerouting.
Fleet Compatibility & Ground Roll
At 10,404 ft (3,171 m), the primary runway comfortably accommodates mid-to-large twin-aisle widebody transports (such as the Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A330-900) as well as maximum-range narrowbody transcontinental configurations (Airbus A321XLR and Boeing 737 MAX 9) under typical atmospheric conditions.
