What TFS to LPA looks like
The TFS to LPA sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Tenerife TFS to Las Palmas LPA is a short sector of 117 km by great circle, flown nonstop 11.7 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 117 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 40 min.
Tenerife TFS is a large airport in the network held here, 94 scheduled destinations and 114.5 departures a day. Las Palmas LPA has 119 destinations and 213 departures a day.
Tenerife and Las Palmas keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on TFS to LPA from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| TFS to LPA | 11.71 | 82 | Binter Canarias, Naysa, Neos |
| LPA to TFS | 0.14 | 1 | Condor |
4 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
The two directions are not level: TFS to LPA runs 11.7 times a day, the return runs about once a week, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
At 11.7 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 83 departures a week on TFS to LPA, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 40 min block time on TFS to LPA. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to TFS | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At TFS before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| TFS to LPA in the air, estimated | 40 min | 5h 10m |
| Formalities at LPA | 90 min | 6h 40m |
| Delivery run in Las Palmas | 45 min | 7h 25m |
| Door to door | 445 min | 7h 25m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for TFS to LPA is 7h 25m.
A courier who leaves Tenerife at 09:00 local is on the ground in Las Palmas at about 09:40 local and at the door by 11:55 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Las Palmas, the last useful departure from Tenerife is around 15:05 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 65 of them join TFS to LPA.
| Connecting at | TFS to hub, flights a day | Hub to LPA, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seville SVQ | 0.57 | 4.71 | 2,820 | 5h 36m |
| Lisbon LIS | 0.71 | 0.71 | 2,716 | 5h 44m |
| Malaga AGP | 0.57 | 3.57 | 2,893 | 5h 57m |
| Porto OPO | 0.57 | 0.86 | 3,236 | 6h 23m |
| Madrid MAD | 3.29 | 22.14 | 3,591 | 7h 05m |
| Derby and Nottingham EMA | 2.43 | 1.14 | 6,030 | 9h 16m |
With 11.7 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
65 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Seville SVQ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through SVQ the routing covers 2,820 km against the 117 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 36m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is 4h 56m more than the nonstop, which is the price of a missed departure on this pair.
Behind it, Lisbon LIS at 5h 44m and Malaga AGP at 5h 57m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
The two ends are only 117 km apart in a straight line. Allowing a road track a quarter longer than that and eighty kilometres an hour, a car covers it in about 1h 50m, so a courier who misses the flight drives rather than connects, and on a short deadline the road is often the plan from the start.
If nothing suitable leaves Tenerife, Tenerife TFN is 54 km away by great circle and carries 33 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for TFS to LPA in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
