Vueling flight VY1814 to Copenhagen that took off this morning from Tenerife South Reina Sofia airport suffered a technical problem and after spending “quite a few minutes” circling in Canarian airspace, it returned to the runway at Reina Sofía airport in Tenerife.
The Twitter profile of Spanish Air Traffic Controllers reports that it is a commercial plane, the Airbus A320 registered EC-MAI, that operated the route between the Canarian Island and Denmark. Apparently, shortly after takeoff from Tenerife Sur airport, the pilots decided to return to the aerodrome.
Technical problems related to cabin pressurisation are the reason given by the controllers, who explain that the problem does not stop there. The plane was in the air for about an hour and a half in order to “burn fuel”.
In the end, the plane landed without further problems on the runway of the Tenerife South airfield.
