Binter reaches 100 million passengers as Canary Islands airline marks milestone
The airline celebrated its 100 millionth passenger with a visit to its Gran Canaria facilities and is giving away 100 tickets.
Binter has reached 100 million passengers, marking a milestone for the Canary Islands airline that connects Fuerteventura with the rest of the archipelago.
The passenger identified as the 100 millionth was Eugenia Victoria Herrera Calzada, a Lanzarote resident. To mark the occasion, Binter invited her on a guided visit to its facilities in Gran Canaria, including its headquarters and aircraft maintenance hangar. The airline also gave her a ticket for two people to any of its destinations and a kit of branded products.
Herrera said she could hardly believe it when she was told she was the 100 millionth passenger. She described being taken from work to the airport, where she had the opportunity to accompany the pilot during landing. She also thanked the airline for helping her visit her family over the years.
Binter’s general coordinator, Santiago Guerra, said the milestone reflected passengers’ trust in the airline and encouraged it to continue providing connections between the islands.
The company is inviting passengers to share their own flight stories using a QR code on flyers aboard its aircraft. It says it will share some of the accounts on its social media channels and is giving away 100 tickets among people taking part in its celebratory activities.
