In El Hierro, a Binter flight scheduled to go to Tenerife North has been cancelled, and in La Gomera and in Tenerife North there have been two Binter flights diverted, which have returned because they could not land on La Gomera and El Hierro, and lastly a Ryanair flight from Santiago de Compostela, has also been diverted to the Tenerife South airport.
