Binter has closed a financing agreement with a banking consortium made up of Santander, Caixabank and BBVA, with the advice of Deloitte and KPMG, to develop its fleet expansion program.
The president of Binter, Rodolfo Núñez, and his vice president, Alfredo Morales, signed the agreement in Gran Canaria with senior representatives of the three banking entities. Through this operation, the airline will invest more than $120 million to buy six ATR 72-600 aircraft, which will be delivered in 2022 and 2023.
The president of Binter, Rodolfo Núñez, pointed out that “we continue to bet on a young, efficient fleet with the necessary size to continue providing the best service to our customers”.
"This year we have received the last two aircraft from the purchase program that we signed in 2015 and we have already signed a new contract for the expansion and renewal of the fleet, for which we closed the financing today," added Núñez.
The renewal of the Binter fleet has been a constant since the company was acquired by Canarian businessmen in 2002. Since then, the airline has acquired 42 aircraft from the manufacturer ATR, in successive operations whose amount exceeds $900 million.
Binter has also incorporated into its fleet five aircraft of the Embraer model E195-E2, which Binter launched on the European continent, with which it operates the routes to the Peninsula, Italy and France.
