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. 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.
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" 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. This airline operates exclusively on behalf of Binter, alongside Canair.
