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]
