en.Wedoany.com Reported - Fred. Olsen Express has announced the reinforcement of several major inter-island routes to meet growing demand and the expected increase in inter-island travel during the summer season. The summer schedule includes additional frequencies to Fuerteventura, La Gomera, and El Hierro, offering residents and tourists more seats and time slots.
One of the key adjustments is the increased frequency on the route connecting Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with Morro Jable, Fuerteventura. From June 22 until mid-September, the company will operate four round trips daily, totaling eight journeys between the two islands each day. This adjustment also facilitates connections from Tenerife, offering up to six daily connections via the combined routes of Santa Cruz de Tenerife to Agaete and Las Palmas GC to Morro Jable, with a total journey time of approximately three hours.
The service from Los Cristianos to El Hierro will operate almost daily with two round trips throughout the summer, except on Wednesdays and Saturdays, when only one round trip per island per day will be maintained. This reinforcement will increase available capacity on the route, offering the highest maritime connectivity this summer since 2013.
During August, the Los Cristianos to La Gomera route will add one daily round trip, reaching five round trips per day (ten daily journeys), thereby strengthening one of the most in-demand maritime connections in the archipelago. Similarly, the Los Cristianos to Santa Cruz de La Palma route will have two daily round trips, totaling four journeys, with two departures per island per day.
Additionally, the 16 daily journeys between Agaete and Santa Cruz de Tenerife remain unchanged, as do the up to 26 daily journeys between Corralejo, Fuerteventura, and Playa Blanca, Lanzarote.
Juan Ignacio Liaño, Fleet Director of Fred. Olsen Express, stated that maritime transport remains one of the top choices for Canary Islands residents for inter-island travel during the summer due to its flexibility—allowing passengers to bring private vehicles, luggage, and offering accommodations and services for the whole family, including pets. He added that the company has noted a significant increase in demand during the summer months, particularly on routes related to holiday travel, and these reinforcements are designed to proactively address demand, providing passengers with more seats, more time slot options, and connectivity tailored to travel needs.
