HAVANA, Cuba – Air Canada on Friday resumed its operations in Cuba with Havana as its destination, in correspondence to other foreign airlines that are also increasing their flights and routes for the winter season.
According to the Cuban tourism ministry, the Canadian airline will have five direct weekly frequencies to Havana.
The flight will also connect Cuba and Japan, starting in Tokyo to Vancouver, Canada, and then making the Toronto-Havana route.
For over a decade, Canada has been one of the leading outbound markets for tourists to Cuba. Direct links are particularly significant for the island’s tourism industry as it recovers after the pandemic.
Meanwhile, starting Sunday, Aeromexico will resume flights to the island with the Mexico City-Havana route and seven weekly frequencies.
With this reopening, the airline reaffirms its commitment to expand its connectivity network to link Mexico with the essential destinations in the world; its representatives said last August during the announcement.
Aeromexico began operations in Cuba in 2011 and stopped them in 2020 due to the pandemic and the hits health restrictions.
