This alliance, finalized in late 2025, seeks to boost the economic and tourism development of the archipelago by facilitating the arrival of international travelers through more efficient network integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Operational Integration and Passenger Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement allows for the connection of Air China routes operating between <strong>Beijing, Sao Paulo, or Havana<\/strong> and <strong>Madrid<\/strong>, with Binter flights linking the Spanish capital to <strong>Gran Canaria<\/strong> and <strong>Tenerife North<\/strong> airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this initial phase, Air China will be responsible for marketing these connections through its global network. Key operational advantages for users include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Single Booking:<\/strong> Issuance of all flight segments under a single ticket.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Through Check-in:<\/strong> Passengers can check their luggage through to their final destination without needing to reclaim it in Madrid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seamless Transit:<\/strong> Streamlined connections between Barajas terminals T1 and T2 using the boarding pass of the airline operating the next leg.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/03\/binter-expands-summer-connectivity-route-expansion-in-spain-and-portugal.html\">Binter Expands Summer Connectivity: Route Expansion in Spain and Portugal<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global Connectivity: Routes and Frequencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Daily Link with Beijing (China)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The alliance guarantees a daily connection with the Chinese capital. The established schedules are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Departure from the Canaries:<\/strong> 07:00, arriving in Madrid at 10:45, with a final touchdown in Beijing at 05:55 the following day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Return from Beijing:<\/strong> Departure at 02:00, arriving in Madrid at 08:00, and final landing in the Canaries at 13:50.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, it is noted that Spanish citizens benefit from a <strong>visa exemption<\/strong> for tourism entry into mainland China (for stays up to 30 days), valid until December 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Connection with Havana (Cuba)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement includes two weekly frequencies, operating on Wednesdays and Saturdays:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

Cuba at 23:55 and arrival in the archipelago at 22:20 the following day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to fuel shortages in Cuba, the return journey to Madrid includes a <strong>technical stop in the Bahamas<\/strong>, which may affect scheduled times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Route to Sao Paulo (Brazil)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Brazilian financial hub, three weekly frequencies have been established (Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays from the Canaries; Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from Brazil):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Outbound:<\/strong> Departure from

layover in Madrid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fleet and Onboard Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The travel experience is supported by state-of-the-art aircraft designed for maximum
