Strong Performance in the Canary Islands-Madrid Route

According to the company, the punctuality rate on the route reached 83%, while operational reliability stood at an impressive 99.7%. Since Binter entered this market, demand has grown by 25% compared to the previous year.
The airline also highlighted that it has met its initial goals for the route and has introduced the "Flexiplus" fare, which allows passengers to modify bookings, access VIP lounges, and enjoy priority boarding and check-in.
Expansion Plans for 2025
Looking ahead to 2025, Binter plans to continue its expansion by offering 8.1 million seats and increasing its network to 65 routes serving 38 destinations.
Starting in April, the airline will introduce new services from Gran Canaria to Córdoba, Badajoz, Valencia, and Almería. Additionally, from Tenerife, Binter will launch flights to San Sebastián, Granada, Murcia, Valencia, Pamplona, and Ponta Delgada.
