Binter Launches First International Flight to Morocco’s Guelmim Airport from Canary Islands

The Spanish airline Binter proceeded on Saturday with the inauguration of the new flight between Gran Canaria and Guelmim. The first passengers were welcomed with water jets at the end of the morning, as tradition requires.
It was a 72-passenger aircraft from the low-cost company that operated this first inaugural flight. Binter will operate two flights per week, Wednesday and Saturday, between the capital of the Guelmim Oued-Noun region and Gran Canaria.
This air link is the first international service connecting Guelmim airport. This is an opportunity for the population of the Guelmim Oued-Noun region, several members of which reside in the Canary Islands, said the director of Guelmim airport, Abdelwahab Chaabaoui, hoping to see Guelmim connected to other international destinations, for the promotion of tourism.
Supporting the words of the airport director, Ahmed Ikour, the Binter representative in Guelmim, stressed that this link remains an opportunity for Guelmim to promote the great economic potential it has.
For his part, Binter’s commercial development director, Pablo Landrau Villalobos, said he was satisfied with the effectiveness of this new line, welcoming the support of the various regional actors. For him, with this service, "a new era opens" for the Canary Islands and the Guelmim Oued-Noun region.
