La Palma airport remains operational despite the volcanic eruption affecting the island since last Sunday, although the first delays have begun, affecting six inter-island flights with Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

Volcanic ash has already begun to arrive in the Mazo airport area, but for now, neither Aena nor Enaire, the air navigation manager in Spain, have activated any restrictions.

In fact, a total of 679 flights were operated in the Canary Islands this Wednesday and there were no incidents in La Palma, and 48 operations are planned for this Thursday with the 'beautiful island'.
