To achieve this, it has the contribution of different land, naval and air resources assigned to the Aerospace Operational Command (MOA), which will carry out activities in order to combine synergies, improve integration and maximize the operational performance of the participating units.
During these days, the people of Lanzarote will perceive the presence of six military combat aircraft, which will carry out about six takeoffs a day, the last being approximately at around midnight. Due to the current global pandemic situation, a series of restrictions and limitations have been established so that this mission can be carried out with the least possible operational impact.
