1. Exclusive Routes and Network
An airline operating from a hub on the Canary Island will have a strong competitive advantage from day one. For one, fuel prices are much lower on the Canary Islands, but you have to have a big aircraft to be able to bunker fuel. The sealevel airports with clean airflow and zero obstacles allow for a full fuel MTOW departure. The Canary Island hub also allows for rapid switching of less productive routes to combined flights as allowed for Charter Airlines.
But even more important the immense catchment areas of the US-destinations, such as New York, L.A. Houston, Atlanta or Chicago make these exclusively served routes extremely interesting.
2. Flying experience and Outward Appearance
Especially the iconic Boeing 747- “Queen of the Skies” holds a special place in the hearts of aviation enthusiasts and travelers alike, evoking a sense of nostalgia and admiration for its iconic design and historical significance.
Last but not least, the Boeing 747-400 is currently still the fastest passenger aircraft in the skies with a cruise speed of 500kts, effectively taking 45 minutes off the clock on the long-haul flight to L.A.
3. High-class Onboard services
Flights used to start with a hot menthol towel to welcome and relax the passengers. We aim to revive this charming welcome gesture. Also, in former days, a fancy meal -wine and dine above the clouds- was one of the highlights of every flight. Far away from today’s “Beef or Chicken?” – services leaving many options unattended; ‑healthy, fresh fruit being one of them, but also a enjoyable meal in reusable plates and real cutlery, not plastic.
4. On-board inflight entertainment –jointly watching only one or two -classic- movies for all passengers on large cinematic screens gives a sense of togetherness and calms the travelers mind. Away from the bewilderingly large choice of movies -where the passengers don’t even remember which movie they watched before the last one.
Another very important feature will be treating passengers to high-level CanAm services, such as CanAm–branded noise-cancelling BOSE headphones;- Which our passengers will surely carry on their next flights exposing CanAm to the international traveler’s world and taking brand exposition again to the next level. -Just a question of time until other large carriers copy this treat.
5. Exclusive on-board Marketing
On-board sales of the following special items:
- Fashion from Desigual or other -mainly Spanish- Brands such as Mango, Zara, Massimo Dutti, etc. through a staged catwalk experience and on-board sales of casual sports and resort wear, which would be a totally new experience and another strong CanAm-USP here.
- A special selection of interesting electronic gadgets will catch the interest of every passenger; -such as altimeter watches for hiking, zoom lenses for your mobile and many other cool and *bling* gadgets to be composed by our modern sales team.
- On-board sales of “duty free” items (-but at favorable prices), such as cigars from La Palma (the old and new Havanna), f.i. especially Aldea Rum from La Palma and other products from the Canary Islands and many other “special” Spanish beverages…
