This would be fantastic if it ever happens
The South Tenerife Train project is moving forward again… but it’s not done yet.
After years of delays and discussions, the next key step now depends on a final agreement with AENA to define how the railway will pass through Tenerife South Airport.
This isn’t a small detail. It’s the piece that unlocks everything else.
Once signed, the project can finally move into the environmental approval phase, something that has been holding it back for years.
The plan already includes an underground station at the airport, designed to connect directly with the terminal and future expansions. But with new redevelopment plans for the airport itself, both sides need to fully align before moving forward.
That’s why this agreement matters so much.
The first phase of the train would connect San Isidro to Costa Adeje, covering around 30 kilometres and linking key areas like Las Chafiras, the airport, Los Cristianos port and El Mojón hospital.
And here’s the part that gets attention…
Journey time for that stretch is estimated at just 13 minutes.
If it happens, it would completely change how people move around the south of the island.
But that’s the catch.
There’s still no confirmed date for the agreement, and until it’s signed, the project can’t officially progress.
So yes, Tenerife’s train is closer than before…
but it’s still waiting on one final green light.
