Jettime flight J4427 landed at the airport of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, after declaring a low fuel emergency.
The aircraft had taken off from Aalborg in Denmark at 09:58 UTC on a flight to the Tenerife South Airport.
The weather situation was adverse due to a strong storm in the entire Canary region, which caused several airports in the area to be congested or closed.
The flight entered a holding pattern to the north of Tenerife at 14:46 UTC as there were delays for arrival. Finally, the crew were informed that weather conditions had dropped below minima.
At 15:20 the aircraft left the holding pattern. After several attempts with ATC to find a suitable diversion airport, the aircraft was redirected to the airport of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, for which they were informed that they would have to wait 25 minutes.
The crew, at that point, declared a MAYDAY because the calculations indicated that it would land below the minimum fuel if it made that wait. ATC gave priority and the aircraft landed without incident at the airport of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, although with an amount of fuel below the minimum.
