 | | Spantax was a Spanish airline that operated from 1959 to 1988. |
 | | Based at the Canary Islands, it was founded on October 6, 1959 as “Spanish Air Taxi.” Tourist flights to the Canary Islands and the Spanish Sahara, as well as the transporting of cargo and personnel to the oil-fields at Laâyoune (El Aaiún), helped its expansion. |
 | | On December 3, 1972, a Coronado 990 belonging to the Spantax fleet was involved in a plane crash at the airport of Los Rodeos, later the location of the Tenerife disaster (1977). |
