Upon arrival near Tenerife Norte, the crew entered holding patterns. When cleared to land, they performed a go-around due to insufficient visibility caused by poor local weather conditions. The crew then decided to divert to the alternate airport, Tenerife Sur.

No damage to the aircraft or injuries to persons occurred.
