The airline is promoting Tenerife as a destination that passengers must visit.

In the last year, more than 38,000 visitors from North America and the United States arrived in Tenerife. 

Arrivals to the US have almost doubled since 2019. 

Tourism officials in the region say that the new flights are a great way to bring North American visitors and residents alike to the island.

Tourism chiefs believe the new routes can help Tenerife become a major Atlantic hub in North America.

The newer aircraft model features 182 seats with premium and economy classes.
