Fog is the main obstacle at Tenerife Norte airport, requiring frequent landing delay maneuvers. Visibility is better at Tenerife Sur airport, but variable wind complicates landing approaches. Gran Canaria airport presents an additional challenge due to two runways and the Gando military base. Pilots perform up to six takeoffs and landings per day.
