Lineas Aereas Canarias (LAC) was an airline created in 1984 to initially offer connections in the Canary Islands and excursions to Morocco and Madeira.

To obtain the AOC, the Spanish Civil Aviation Authorities required the company to have 100 million pesetas of fully registered and paid-up capital stock.

These English four-engined aircraft with Roll Royce engines consumed 1,500 liters per hour, and were purchased from British Air Ferries for 100 million pesetas each, which were financed by Infoleasing de Madrid with an annual interest of 21.5%.

It begins to fly as a charter, since it could not be flown otherwise due to the monopoly of Iberia and Aviaco, making flights in the Canary Archipelago between the islands of Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife, as well as tourist excursions to Marrakech and Madeira.

The closure of Spantax in 1988 opened new opportunities for this airline, which is why it entered the European charter market, dismantling the Viscounts and acquiring modern 180-seat MD-83 leases from McDonnell Douglas, of which five were operated.

There was an attempt to relaunch the Lineas Aereas Canarias brand (the original airline that operated between 1985 and 1990) but the project was unsuccessful and the airworthiness certificate was never received.
