The disaster had a lasting influence on the industry, highlighting in particular the vital importance of using standardized phraseology in radio communications. Cockpit procedures were also reviewed, contributing to the establishment of crew resource management as a fundamental part of airline pilots' training.

Crew resource management was a technique and system developed to evolve with the everchanging modern aircraft protocols and regulations. This new system began as a reaction and response to the new technology that was introduced into aircraft such as flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders. With this new technology being introduced into common flights in modern aircraft, there was a lot of issues and even aircraft accidents that were happening after this new technology. One of the most important aspects of this new system would include the adjustment and correction of communication and task breakdowns with flight crews using this new technology in their modern aircraft.

Weather conditions at Los Rodeos

Sitting at the center of this island, that contains a major airport, is a volcanic peak. With this in mind, the placement and choice to put an airport on this particular island is already questionable. The problems that could occur with putting an airport on an island with a volcanic peak speak for themselves. If it was to become active, it would not only destroy the island, but this major airport as well. The island also has a thick cloud cover that sets in halfway up the mountain, due to the volcanic peak. This creates a fog that is mainly present for most of the year and can affect the sightlines of airplane crews and the pilots.
