Regional carrier Binter has given central-Spain travellers—and the companies that move talent between the Peninsula and the Canary Islands—a welcome connectivity boost.
Announced on the morning of 18 January 2026, the airline will launch a twice-weekly service between Valladolid’s Villanubla airport (VLL) and Tenerife-Norte (TFN) from 2 July. Introductory lead-in fares start at €90 one-way and include a free same-day connection to any of Binter’s inter-island services, effectively opening the entire archipelago to passengers originating in Castilla-y-León.
The new route lifts Binter’s seat offer in Valladolid to more than 41,000 for the year—almost double 2024 levels—and makes the Canarian airline responsible for half of all scheduled summer flights at the airport. Flights will be operated by 132-seat Embraer E195-E2 jets that feature a generous 31-inch seat pitch and no middle seats, a detail that should appeal to corporate travellers used to premium-economy comfort.

Business and leisure passengers who discover at the last minute that they need a visa or other travel documents before boarding can streamline the process through VisaHQ. The platform’s dedicated Spain portal (https://www.visahq.com/spain/) guides users step-by-step, helps corporate travel departments manage multiple applications at once and offers expedited handling so tight itineraries like VLL–TFN connections aren’t derailed by paperwork.
For global-mobility and travel managers, the development reduces travel times for assignees shuttling between the Canary Islands’ booming tech/digital-nomad scene and headquarters in north-central Spain. It also offers employers based in Valladolid a non-stop option for site-visits to Tenerife’s aerospace and renewable-energy clusters without the usual Madrid or Barcelona transit.
Local authorities welcomed the move, noting that reliable year-round air links are critical to stemming the region’s ‘empty Spain’ talent drain. Binter, which already flies VLL–Gran Canaria on Mondays and Thursdays, says it remains open to adding frequencies if demand materialises.
