History edit
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.
