Sunny weather in this island part of the Canary Islands archipelago. Jet2.com dominating the scene but also spotted a green striped Condor landing.

Tenerife & Frankfurt, January 2025

First time I landed in one of the Canary Islands was in 2008 when I was still flying the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar for a charter airline. It was a Charles de Gaulle - Fuerteventura flight for XL Airways France.

In 2019, I went to visit Gran Canaria (Las Palmas).

And recently, I had a turnaround flight to Tenerife South for the first time! Many interesting aircraft there, including this A321 with Condor's striking livery, and the A320neo of Brussels Airlines with the special Tomorrowland livery.

Next day I did a regular turnaround flight to Frankfurt. And just like this, a new year begins.

Welcome 2025!
