The ash plume from La Palma is threatening the airport operation of Tenerife North; some flights have been diverted to Tenerife South as consequence and operation of the North airport remains questionable if not unlikely in the coming hours.

Activity continues with no significant changes as the eruption approaches 3 weeks, during which is has by now covered more than 430 hectares of land and destroyed over a 1000 houses and other buildings.
At the vents, ash-rich fountaining and vigorous lava spattering continues to produce lava flows on the northwest flank of the cone, but more importantly, a significant ash and steam plume that forms a column rising 2-3 km and spreading along with the winds in various directions, currently including easterly currents, which unfortunately brings the ash plume to the airport area. This forced the closure of the airport since yesterday, forcing the diversion of flights to Tenerife. It is forecasted to last through tomorrow at least.
