<p class="blog-para">In the late 1960s, the island authorities of Tenerife found the need for a new airport at a new location, because the existing airport did not meet technical requirements due to adverse weather conditions, especially low visibility in foggy conditions; this was exemplified by the event of what became the deadliest aviation accident in history, when in 1977, two Boeing 747s collided on the runway at Los Rodeos, killing 583 people.</p>
<p class="blog-para">Only 20 months later, with the disaster still fresh in people's minds, the new airport was inaugurated on 6 November 1978, by Queen Sof&iacute;a of Spain, to whom the airport is dedicated. The first flight was Iberia flight IB187 from Lanzarote,which was operated by a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 landing at 10:17. The airport was constructed close to the Tom&aacute;s Zerolo airfield, which closed when TFS opened. By the end of its first year, 1 million passengers had passed through its doors.</p>
<p class="blog-para">In June 1980, Viasa inaugurated flights to Caracas. The link served the large proportion of the Canarian diaspora that resided in Venezuela. The airline ceased operations in 1997, after which Avensa started plying the route. Due to financial problems, Avensa later let Santa B&aacute;rbara Airlines take over its flights to Spain in exchange for a codeshare agreement. Santa B&aacute;rbara commenced service to Reina Sof&iacute;a Airport in October 2002 using McDonnell Douglas DC-10 equipment, although it switched to Tenerife North Airport four months later.</p>
