Copa Airlines increased its frequency of trips to Cuba and reestablished the connection of Holguín and Santa Clara with Panama, according to the Cuban Company of Airports and Airport Services SA (Ecasa). Starting this Monday, five daily flights will begin to depart from the José Martí International Airport in Havana.
In their statement they specify that initially the flights at the Abel Santamaría airport in Santa Clara are reactivated on Saturdays and Sundays, and from January 11, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To the Frank País airport in Holguín, the Panamanian airline will fly Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

The information also recalls that since November 2021, the Panamanian company established among its baggage policies that travelers will only be able to carry two suitcases weighing up to 23 kilograms and the overweight charges according to the Copa Airlines fare.
Meanwhile, the high number of infections by covid-19 of employees of the Miami International Airport forced the restructuring of several flights since last December 30, according to a report post Aerocuba. “Swift Airline has been forced to restructure many” of its transfers. It was also detailed that flights 502 and 503 scheduled for January 1 did not take off. And the effects were extended to the departures contemplated for days 3, 4 and 7.

Given the increase in infections in the world by covid-19 and the omicron variant, Cuba established December 29 extraordinary measures for travelers from South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Namibia, Malawi and Eswatini and Cubans who do not have a vaccination scheme who will undergo PCR tests and must comply with an eight-day quarantine.
