Why Chinese exporters choose Binter Canarias for Canary Islands and West Africa-bound cargo.
For Chinese manufacturers and traders, Binter Canarias offers a unique, regional air freight solution into the Canary Islands — a strategic gateway to the Atlantic, West Africa and European markets — and beyond. Although the airline does not fly directly to China, its extensive European network and dedicated cargo partner make it a reliable choice for Chinese exports.
Gateway to the Canary Islands and the Atlantic. Gran Canaria Airport serves as the primary air freight gateway for the Canary Islands, an autonomous community of Spain located off the northwest coast of Africa. The archipelago is a major tourist destination and a strategic logistics hub connecting Europe, Africa and the Americas. Binter is the only airline with a comprehensive inter-island network, providing seamless connectivity across all eight islands — a capability that no other carrier can match.
Dedicated cargo expertise through Atlantis Cargo. Binter's cargo operations are managed by Atlantis Cargo, a specialised subsidiary that transports 2 million kg of cargo annually. Atlantis Cargo offers bulk cargo services for general cargo, parcels, perishables, pharmaceuticals, valued cargo and dangerous goods — a comprehensive range that covers virtually all cargo types exported from China. The service is distinguished by its efficiency, proximity, responsibility, flexibility and specialised attention, with agile responses to market and client needs.
Expanding cargo network and partnerships. Binter has recently established strategic alliances to strengthen its cargo offering. In 2024, Atlantis Cargo partnered with BGlobal as its General Sales Agent in Madrid, leveraging 16 daily flights between Madrid and Gran Canaria/Tenerife Norte to increase cargo volume by 60%. In 2026, Binter and logistics provider Lamaignere launched a direct air corridor between Seville and the Canary Islands with five weekly frequencies per destination, providing stable logistics planning and highly competitive transit times. Through Binter's operating model, cargo can connect to all airports across the archipelago, extending the service's reach to any island.
On cost and reliability, routing via Madrid or Seville offers competitive rates compared to all-the-way long-haul products, while Binter's extensive inter-island network provides genuine last-mile reach across the entire Canary archipelago. Goodhope Freight consolidates and negotiates on the China side, so exporters benefit from consolidated rates, predictable departures and local Chinese-language support. For Chinese exporters of consumer goods, electronics, machinery, pharmaceuticals and perishables, Binter Canarias provides a dependable route into the Canary Islands and West African markets.

How Binter's Gran Canaria hub and specialised cargo services create value for freight from China.
Binter Canarias is built around a single, strategically positioned hub: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), with a secondary focus on Tenerife Norte (TFN). From there, the airline operates a modern fleet of 26 ATR 72-600 turboprops and 16 Embraer E195-E2 jets, serving over 50 destinations across the Canary Islands, mainland Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and North/West Africa. The airline's fleet is ideally suited for regional operations, with the ATR 72-600 capable of operating on short runways — perfect for inter-island connectivity — and the E195-E2 providing efficient medium-haul capacity to European destinations.
Specialised cargo capabilities through Atlantis Cargo. Atlantis Cargo, Binter's dedicated cargo GSA, offers a comprehensive suite of cargo services:
— Bulk cargo for general cargo and parcels
— Perishables — temperature-sensitive goods such as fresh produce
— Pharma — pharmaceutical products
— Valued cargo — high-value goods
— Dangerous goods — all categories
The service is distinguished by efficiency, proximity, responsibility, flexibility and specialised attention, with agile and concrete responses to market and client needs.
Strategic alliances expanding cargo reach. Binter has forged key partnerships to strengthen its cargo offering:

Future growth. Binter has placed orders for additional ATR 72-600 and Embraer E195-E2 aircraft, with deliveries ongoing. The airline is also exploring opportunities to serve the film industry with specialised air logistics for production materials, using E195-E2 aircraft configured in blocks of two seats with no middle seat.
