A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration EI-FZX delivered the passengers to Tenerife with a delay of 2.5 hours.
The stabilizer trim was found blocked. The aircraft remained on the ground for about 14 hours, then returned to service.
On May 3rd 2018 The Aviation Herald received information that the stabilizer trim actuator motor was found defective also disabling manual trim (jamming the trim wheel). The pilot of an aircraft landing into Tenerife South reported a positive windshear, while pilots landing into Las Palmas reported strong winds but no windshear prompting the diversion to Las Palmas. The crew configured for a flaps 15 landing in line with QRH procedures, requested a long approach and made a safe landing.
