Tenerife North–Ciudad de La Laguna Airport (IATA: TFN, ICAO: GCXO), formerly Los Rodeos Airport, is the smaller of the two international airports on the island of Tenerife, Spain. It is located in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, 11 km (7 mi) by road from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, at an elevation of 633 metres (2,077 ft). The airport handled 7,174,977 passengers in 2025. Combined with Tenerife South Airport, the island records the highest passenger volume in the Canary Islands, with a total of 21,144,655 passengers, surpassing Gran Canaria Airport. Today, TFN serves as an inter-island hub linking all seven main Canary Islands to the Iberian Peninsula and Europe.
In 1977, the airport was the infamous site of the deadliest accident in aviation history, when two Boeing 747s collided on the runway in heavy fog conditions, causing the deaths of 583 passengers and crew.
