Canarias Airlines Compañía de Aviación S.L., styled as Canair, is a Spanish regional airline with bases at Las Palmas Airport and Tenerife-North Airport which commenced operations as a subsidiary of Binter Canarias in September 2011.[2] Canair was founded in 2011 as a low-fares subsidiary of Binter Canarias, which began operations in September of that year with two ATR 72-500 airliners.[3]

History

The company was branded as “another move in the strategy of Binter Canarias in guaranteeing the provision of public services in the Canary Islands"[4] and initially employed 22 pilots and 24 flight attendants, operating 24 daily flights between Gran Canaria and Tenerife.

In June 2023, Binter Canarias opened a second subsidiary airline, Naysa Servicios Aéreos, using the name of a former airline.[5] This airline operates exclusively on behalf of Binter, alongside Canair.
