This last city will be the first to host the arrival of the ship from the German city, on December 19. On the 26th the flight will be repeated.
The capital will take a little longer and it will not be until Monday 20 and 27, and Thursday 23 and 30 December when a Condor flight lands in Havana, while Juan Gualberto Gómez, from Varadero, will arrive on Tuesday 21 and December 28 and Friday 24 and 31.
The Cuban Company of Airports and Aeronautical Services announced that of each company for this month of December “given the number of flights from the different airlines to our country.”
One of the most anticipated flights is that of American Airlines, which returns to Havana this Thursday with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, with capacity for 234 passengers. Starting today, a ship of the American company will leave Miami at 10:35 in the morning to the Havana airport.

The Mexican goes from Cancun to Camagüey twice a week and to Santiago de Cuba once, in addition to connecting the capitals of both countries with a daily flight.
The Cuban government asks travelers from the United States for the complete vaccination scheme, while the rest of the passengers can enter the island with a negative PCR test.
The exception is for passengers from sub-Saharan Africa, who have been quarantined if they come from South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Namibia, Malawi and Eswatini (Swaziland). In addition, they must present their complete vaccination schedule upon arrival on the island, a negative PCR of the last 72 hours carried out at origin and a sample collection for testing at destination that will be repeated on the sixth day at the quarantine hotel.
The same rules apply to travelers from Belgium, Israel, Hong Kong, Egypt, Turkey, and all sub-Saharan African countries not listed above, except for quarantine and second PCR.
All of them are considered at risk due to the multiple cases detected of the variant of the omicron coronavirus. However, it has already emerged that the strain was in Europe before arriving in South Africa and there is no additional measure planned for travelers from that continent.
