What Canaryshuttle does

Canary Shuttle is the consumer-facing brand of Movilidad Turística Canaria S.A.U., a Spanish tourism intermediary that provides airport-to-hotel and hotel-to-airport passenger transfer services across the Canary Islands. The company operates a fleet of shared shuttles, private transfers, premier/luxury vehicles, and adapted vehicles for passengers with reduced mobility, serving inbound tourists and leisure travelers at five island airports: Gran Canaria, Tenerife (Sur and Norte), Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and La Palma. Pricing is transaction-based, with shared shuttles starting at €8 per person and private services starting at €44 per vehicle, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before service.

The business is built on a self-serve online booking platform with real-time flight monitoring and 24/7 customer support, supplemented by physical staffed offices at every covered airport and a dedicated B2B/corporate department for group bookings. The underlying technology stack includes a QR-code-based Fast Pass system for expedited airport procedures, a Route Planner using optimization algorithms to reduce travel distances and service times, and an Augmented Reality passenger guidance tool to help international tourists locate their assigned vehicle in unfamiliar parking environments. These capabilities were developed under the TDIGICAN digital transformation project, funded by Next Generation EU through SEGITTUR.

Revenue mechanics are entirely transactional (per-person or per-vehicle fees at time of booking), with no subscription or recurring contract model. The company is a Sociedad Anónima Unipersonal (S.A.U.) with tax ID A33035585, registered in the Mercantile Register of Las Palmas, and operates under tourist intermediary license I-0005039.1. Email infrastructure and operational references indicate affiliation with ALSA Grupo, Spain's largest bus operator, though the formal ownership structure beyond this affiliation is not publicly disclosed.
