THANK YOU FOR OUR LATEST RECORD

We continue to push ahead with our customer-centred road map and, in that regard, would like to thank you for helping us reach a new record for passengers carried on a single day: on 28 April, Binter flew a total of 19,400 passengers on 285 flights, the highest daily figure ever in our airline’s 34-year history.

We are also pushing ahead with our commitment to expanding our routes outside the Canaries. In the case of the Balearics, where we have been operating six weekly flights to Majorca, we have now added summer connections to Menorca as of June, in a repeat of last year’s experience, and to Ibiza from July.

We recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of our Vigo route and will also be organising a special edition of our Fear of Flying course from 16 to 18 June. Binter has long experience with training of this kind, achieving a success rate of over 90 %.

Another milestone which we are particularly proud of is the launch of Aeronautical Training Canarias, our new training centre. The centre aims not only to train our own personnel but also to contribute to aviation training for the wider population in the Canaries by offering the most extensive range of highest-quality courses to cater for the needs of the many who would like a career in the aviation industry.

In May we took part in a forum organised by Madeira’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry which focused on the opportunities available to businesses in the Macaronesia region, where Binter has a strong presence in the form of multiple yearround flight connections, which are bolstered further as of June with our direct flights from Madeira to Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife South and Marrakesh.

Lastly, coinciding with the 74th birthday of the much-loved Manolo Vieira, we have just unveiled details of a very special present to him from us here at Binter. Our next ATR72-600 plane, which is due to arrive shortly in the Canaries to join the fleet, will be named after the popular Canarian comedian who passed away recently and will enable us to carry on travelling with him «down the old road».

We want to continue to be part of the history and lives of the people of the Canaries and to continue flying for you.

Thank you for choosing us. We hope we will continue to welcome you on board our flights.
