Euro First Air - Canarias Cargo, also known as EFA - Canarias Cargo or simply Canarias Cargo, was an airline based in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain.
History
Euro First Air - Canarias Cargo was founded on 30 November 1999 with headquarters in Las Palmas. [1] The airline projected to establish itself first as a cargo airline between Spain and the US, [2] and later to expand in order to include passenger services as well. [3]
It began operating charter cargo services from its base at Gran Canaria Airport using a single Airbus A300 aircraft. [4]
Owing to financial difficulties EFA - Canarias Cargo ceased all operations the following year. [5] Creditors and unpaid employees filed lawsuits against the airline even after it ceased operating. [6] [7]
