Overview
Naysa Servicios Aéreos, commonly styled as Naysa, is a Spanish regional airline and subsidiary of Binter Canarias. The current company was established in 2022 and began flying in June 2023, using the Naysa name that had previously belonged to another Canary Islands aviation company. Its operating role is closely integrated with Binter: Naysa conducts flights under Binter's network and flight numbers rather than marketing an independent scheduled network of its own. The airline's current operating bases are Gran Canaria Airport, also known as Las Palmas Airport, and Tenerife-North Airport. Its services are focused on regional connectivity within the Canary Islands, a market in which short sectors between the islands are an important part of the transport system. Naysa's first reported commercial operation took place on 29 June 2023, when it operated Binter flight NT 222 from Las Palmas to Fuerteventura. The company had received Spanish Air Operator's Certificate ES.AOC.162 in mid-June 2023, allowing it to begin commercial operations shortly afterward. Naysa's role resembles that of Canarias Airlines, another Binter subsidiary used to operate aircraft and services within the parent airline's wider network. Naysa flights therefore appear to passengers as part of Binter's schedule and use Binter flight numbers. This arrangement gives Binter additional operating capacity while preserving a unified customer-facing network. Naysa is consequently best understood as an operating airline within the Binter group rather than as a fully independent consumer airline with a separate route strategy. The company operates ATR 72-600 turboprop aircraft. This aircraft type is suited to the short, high-frequency sectors linking the Canary Islands, combining relatively low operating costs with capacity appropriate for regional demand. As reported in December 2023, the fleet consisted exclusively of ATR 72-600 aircraft. No separate long-haul, jet, cargo, or charter product portfolio is identified in the available reference material. The Naysa name has an earlier history in Spanish regional aviation. The former company, Navegación y Servicios Aéreos Canarios S.A., was founded in 1969 by Alfonso Carrero as an air-taxi operator based in Córdoba. It adopted a name referring to the Canary Islands when it began operations there in 1973, moved its head office to Gran Canaria in 1977, and was acquired by Binter Canarias in 2007. Its operations were ultimately merged into those of Binter in 2017. The present Naysa company is a later legal and operating entity, created as a Binter subsidiary in 2022 and launched in 2023 under the revived brand name. Available information does not establish a separate public-facing corporate strategy, independent financial reporting, listed status, or current executive roster for Naysa. Its identifiable market position is that of a Binter-aligned regional operator supporting dependable inter-island air travel in the Canary Islands.
History
The Naysa name has roots in Spanish regional aviation dating to the former Navegación y Servicios Aéreos Canarios S.A. That earlier company was founded in 1969 by Alfonso Carrero as an air-taxi business based in Córdoba. In 1973, when it began operating in the Canary Islands, it adopted a name that explicitly referenced the archipelago. The company later transferred its head office to Gran Canaria in 1977. The former Naysa developed within the regional aviation environment of the Canary Islands before being acquired by Binter Canarias in 2007. It operated as a Binter subsidiary for several years, but its operations were merged into those of the parent company in 2017. The original company therefore ceased to operate as a separate airline under the Naysa identity. A new company was established as a Binter Canarias subsidiary in 2022 and revived the Naysa name. This current entity is distinct from the former operator in its corporate history, although it continues the name's association with Canary Islands aviation. Naysa obtained Spanish Air Operator's Certificate ES.AOC.162 in mid-June 2023 and began flying on 29 June of that year. Its first reported operation was Binter flight NT 222 from Las Palmas to Fuerteventura. From launch, Naysa's role was defined as an operating component of Binter's network: it conducts flights on Binter's behalf, uses Binter flight numbers, and serves routes selected within the parent airline's broader schedule. The arrangement is comparable to the role played by Canarias Airlines, another subsidiary associated with Binter's network operations. Naysa's bases are Las Palmas Airport and Tenerife-North Airport. The airline's fleet is composed of ATR 72-600 turboprops, an aircraft type suited to the short sectors and frequency requirements of inter-island air travel. The available reference material identifies no independent long-haul operation, cargo division, or separate consumer-facing route network. Its principal function is to provide regional passenger capacity within the Canary Islands under the Binter brand architecture. The current airline's history is therefore best viewed in two phases: the original Naysa company, founded in 1969 and later absorbed into Binter's operations, and the new Binter subsidiary created in 2022 and launched in 2023. Although the revived company inherits the name and regional association, the available sources do not establish that it is a direct continuation of the original legal entity.

ATR 72-600 regional passenger services
Naysa operates ATR 72-600 turboprop aircraft for short-haul passenger services. The type is appropriate for inter-island routes because of its regional capacity and suitability for relatively short sectors.
