TENERIFE Airport 20 YEARS AGO (1998)

In 1998 JustPlanes made its only visit to both Tenerife Airports and captured what has now become a totally historic video. Most of the more than 200 aircraft you will find on this 2 hour video are gone by now. Some of the aircraft types are no longer in passenger service!

Times have changed! Today when you film an airport as far as narrow bodies are concerned you see A320s and B737s…. which you know will still be around in 20 years… however 20 years ago you saw L1011s, TU-154s, DC10s, 727s, 737-200s, 747-200s, all pretty much gone from passenger service…. I got 20mins of history together, hope you enjoy. Do share it if you can… more people need to see what we’re missing today!

[@jovialpie584]

Well its a love hate relationship for me these vids lol .. I love them and then I hate the feeling of loss :( .. I miss the L10-11s and the other planes its all I wouldnt go as far to say boring but .. its all abit the same now >.>... Not a lot of young people now that can say they have been on a BAC 1-11 or have heard the roar of a JT8D.. Listened to 4 RR RB-211s come to life on a starting 747-200 :D.. I feel at least lucky I got to experience the last drabs of that.

[@QFSAviation]

I agree

[@j.t.9011]

Not strictly true. Embraer, CRJ, Bombardier Dash and C-series, A380, A340, A330, A350, 787, 777, 717, Tupolev, Dornier..just as much variety as in years gone past!

[@mcdonnelldouglasmd-1124]

I miss the MD-11

[@jimcarnicom9417]

Well, we can still enjoy flight. Once I was able to fly in a jump seat from Ft. Lauderdale to Nassau, in a DC-3. That probably won't happen again.

[@craigstephens93]

I think the L-1011 is just the most beautifully-proportioned airframe; so nice to watch on landing.

[@mmtot]

The 757 is way more elegant. The L-1011 nose is way to short.

[@cypres27]

I landed here in 1965 on KLM DC 8 Daniel Denouille.

[@canadianplanespotter]

Seeing those L-1011's and Tupolevs is an absolute feast for a plane spotter, one which I sadly will never experience :/

[@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath]

Ever seen Airforce One?

[@williamherbert1159]

Great to see British Caledonian again my wife and I flew into Tenerife North many times in the 70's and 80's. Also 1974 flew British Caledonian 707 to San Fransisco.Great days. Rest in Peace Patxx

[@tomtalker2000]

I've never seen so many L1011's in one video. MAN that brought back the memories for me. I loved flying on them. Such a great sounding jet and comfortable.

Great to see those old birds. DC-10’s, Tristars, 727’s and MD83’s!

[@paulspindler5849]

The Tristar, my favourite aircraft of all time, only the A340-500 and concorde run it close, Flew on a British Airtours one to Malaga when it was brand new ( I think I was 4!) and a BA -200 to Bankok via Bahrain. The plane carried onto Kuala Lumpur and on the return I was allowed to visit the cockpit at the age of 14!

[@clonSanG]

Knew a guy use to fly md. S he said they where thirsty but great to fly but not profitable

[@boffis123]

Amazing! Especially the trijets like Finnair MD-11, those L-1011s and then the Premiair Dc-10s which was my first airplane I ever flew.

[@flyingfeline7110]

I used to be a flight attendant on the L1011 for Air Ops of Europe & Trans Aer and Translift on the A300 and DC-8 71. I remember friends working for other airlines on the 757 and A320 making fun of us guys for working on such old birds! I feel privileged to have worked on them now. 😀

"Beautiful mix of elegant airliners from back in the day!!"... that's why airlines need to differentiate themselves with some colourful liveries today instead of the awful white sameness we get nowadays!

[@Dirigo207]

How many airlines in this video are in service. Seems I could probably only count it on one hand, some goes for aircraft type. God how things have changed. Too sad

[@christianbro2]

The trend is definitely not to call an airline after a place or region.

[@amc3]

Things have changed due to Ryanair, Easyjet, Eurowings, Wizzair, Transavia and more recently Norwegian. 20 years ago Tenerife it was 90% charters - 10% schedule. No its the other way, with most being low cost carriers. Incredible video, Twenty minutes of European aviation history, phenomenal !!

[@urmomsbestfriend]

I counted 6. Austrian, Iberia, Finnair, Air Greenland, Air Europa and Edelweiss.

[@nissansilviakouki]

3 or 4

[@Alaskia.Autumnxox]

Some of the British airlines have just changed name, either that or they've merged, for example, Britannia changed it's name to Thomson Airways, then Thomson and First Choice merged and became TUI, the same with Airtours, they changed their name to My Travel and then followed a merger with another airline to become Thomas Cook!

It was lolland falster airport and has been there since the 90s I was lucky enough to fly and land a piper PA28 arrow by myself! It was a lifetime experience and i think it will not be possible again sadly.

This is really a nostalgic journey back in time, my childhood and start of my aviation enthusiasm...and actually not that long ago yet😁👀. I counted, there is exactly 6 airlines in this video still in service to date: Condor, Austrian, Travel Service, Iberia, Finnair and Air Europa. The rest have gone, many of them classic old aviation greats already then, originating from the 70s or even earlier. The late 90s/early 2000s were really the age of death for all those aviation dinos, and it is not a subject perception: the skies WERE more colourful and diverse back in the days. Not only as for airlines but for aircraft as well.
