Air Crash Tenders in Tenerife

Just in case you are one of those people who fears flying to Tenerife because of the island's crash record, you may like to know what help is at hand these days.

The tender pictured, plus other models, have been supplied by ROSENBAUER, to the Spanish Airports' Authority (AENA), including to both Tenerife South and Tenerife North airports.

ROSENBAUER reassuringly say, "In case of a crash situation, the run across the airport must not only be as fast, but also as short as possible, whereby small obstacles, fences and hedges will be driven over, traversing difficult ground and the tarmac at over 100 kph. This is the reason why ROSENBAUER uses not only standard chassis but also military and special for its air crash tenders, to be capable of meeting the selective demands made by major, top category international airports."
