Air Europa will inaugurate weekly service from Miami to Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, on June 20. The Spanish-owned airline will offer one weekly flight on Saturdays from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Tenerife’s North Airport, or Tenerife Norte (TFN), aboard a 299-passenger Airbus A330-200 aircraft, with 24 Business Class seats and 275 seats in Economy Class. Tenerife tourism officials believe it will bring more visitors — some 300,000 Floridians are of Canary Island descent — to explore the seven islands in the archipelago. Air Europa Flight UX 096 will depart Miami International Airport at 5 p.m., arriving in Tenerife the next day at 7:35 a.m. The return flight, Air Europa Flight UX 095, will depart Tenerife at 1:50 p.m., arriving back in Miami at 4:50 p.m. the same day.
Lying just 62 miles off the African coast in the Atlantic, these volcanic islands offer a year-round temperate climate, a variety of striking landscapes, water sports, charming towns and a wealth of dining and nightlife options. The chain’s largest island, Tenerife is crowned by the dormant volcano of Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak at 12,195 feet. Surrounding peaks are carpeted with thick forests. Tenerife has miles of beaches to the south where many of the resort hotels can be found and several unspoiled villages surrounded by vineyards and banana plantations in the green north. Backed by mountains and shaded by palms, Santa Cruz de Tenerife is an important regional deepwater port and boasts many historic buildings including a church dating from 1500, archaeological and fine arts museums and the bustling food market/bazaar Mercado de Nuesta Señora de África.
