In Tuesday’s announcement, Miguel Ángel Suárez said,
“Today we are inaugurating all our new routes to European destinations, with great enthusiasm and with the confidence that they will be attractive to everyone, because, in both directions, visitors can find an infinite number of plans, for all tastes. Furthermore, we hope that these new connections will continue to promote cultural exchange between all territories. With these routes we want, not only to improve connectivity for the Canaries, but also to promote tourism, especially to attract visitors, Italians and French, thus diversifying the markets that are usually source of tourists.”
For international travel connections, Binter offers complimentary inter-island connecting flights between the Canary Islands. Flights on Binter’s new European destinations are operated with the airline’s five new Embraer E195-E2s, the quietest, cleanest and most efficient single-aisle aircraft in its class.
