Tenerife hoteliers launch airline
Hoteliers behind a new airline launched to fly tourists to the Canary Islands have bought their first aircraft.
The as-yet-unnamed airline has been set up by the Tenerife Hoteliers Association, which plans to launch flights this winter.
Jorge Marichal, president of Ashotel, told Canarian Weekly the idea is ‘to bring tourists from anywhere. Anyone who wants to come will have the means to do so’.
Over a dozen entrepreneurs from Tenerife have joined the partnership to guarantee connectivity to the islands and Ashotel is waiting for hoteliers in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria to sign up.
