Storm Therese Disrupts Air and Sea Travel Across Canary Islands

Storm Therese is causing travel disruptions across the Canary Islands, forcing transport companies to tighten safety measures. According to the EFE news agency, the most notable incident so far involved a flight from Tenerife North to El Hierro, which was forced to return to its base as a precaution due to the challenging weather.

Airport operator Aena confirmed the incident, and the airline Binter has warned passengers that the storm could lead to further delays, route changes, or flight cancellations. Travelers are advised to check their flight status before heading to the airport to avoid unnecessary crowds and travel issues.

Meanwhile, ferry operator Fred. Olsen Express is on high alert. While all routes are currently running, the company has been following strict bad-weather protocols since Tuesday afternoon, including extra safety measures at docks and constant monitoring of sea conditions. Because the islands rely heavily on air and sea travel for both supplies and daily movement, the coming hours will be critical in determining when travel schedules can return to normal.
