Passengers reported the crew indicated there was an engine (RB211) malfunction and indicated they were left without information for an onward flight, only heard by rumour they might be able to depart TFS with a delay of more than 24 hours.
Spanish ATC reported the crew reported a minor technical issue that did not permit continuation of the flight and prompted the diversion to Tenerife.
A replacement Boeing 757-200 registration G-LSAB positioned to TFS late the following day, resumed the flight and reached Manchester with a delay of 25.5 hours.
