The Story Of The Tenerife Airport Disaster
7 minute read
The crash of two Boeing 747s at Los Rodeos Airport (now Tenerife North Airport) in 1977 was the deadliest in history. They collided on the runway after the departing KLM aircraft started its take-off run before the taxiing Pan Am aircraft had vacated the strip. 583 lives were lost. The crash was primarily due to pilot error and departure without clearance, but there were several contributing factors.

The two 747s involved
The crash involved two heavily loaded passenger 747s colliding on the runway. The 747s involved were operated by KLM and Pan American World Airways (Pan Am). Both aircraft had diverted to the airport that day and were preparing to depart to continue their journeys to Gran Canaria.
