Binter to Connect Canary Islands to Seville with 10 Weekly Flights

The airline lands in the Andalusian capital after Ryanair announced it will reduce frequencies in Spain.

Binter will start operating on 1 December with ten weekly flights to Seville – five to Tenerife North and five to Gran Canaria – strengthening the range of direct destinations from Seville, according to an announcement from the Seville City Council’s Tourism and Culture Department.

Service details

• Days of operation: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.
• Schedule: Timetables are designed to accommodate both leisure and business travelers.
• Connecting flights: Passengers can link, at no extra cost, to the rest of the Canary Islands network, which comprises more than 250 daily flights across the archipelago (city‑council press release).

Context: Ryanair cuts

The launch comes after Irish flag carrier Ryanair decided to cancel all flights to Tenerife North and to reduce its seat capacity in the Canary Islands by 10 % (400,000 seats) for the winter season. This move is part of Ryanair’s broader plan to cut its overall capacity in Spanish regions by 41 %, citing “excessive and uncompetitive airport fees imposed by the monopolistic airport operator Aena.”

Official comments

“Seville continues to advance its strategy of strengthening air connectivity. The arrival of Binter is the result of constant work by the City Council to attract new routes that diversify and reinforce the flight offering from our city,” said Angie Moreno, Deputy for Tourism and Culture.

“This connection with the Canary Islands not only expands tourism and economic opportunities but also fills the gap left by other airlines, ensuring that Seville maintains – and even improves – its strategic air links.”

“We are convinced that this link with the Canary Islands will generate a significant flow of travelers in both directions. That means more visitors for Seville, more opportunities for our productive sectors, and an additional boost to our profile as a cultural, tourist, and economic destination,” Moreno added.

“The arrival of Binter reinforces Seville’s position as a reference air hub in southern Spain, in line with the City Council’s strategy to consolidate new international and domestic connections that broaden travel possibilities and strengthen the city’s role as a top‑level destination,” she concluded.
