At noon today, 189 passengers from the city of Toronto passed through all the customs and health check areas to resume the functions of this inactive aerodrome for almost a year as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Granilén Forte, head of airport operations, reported the press that a similar plane with 165 passengers will arrive from Montreal on the afternoon of this Tuesday from the Air Canada airline.
He pointed out that all these tourists, after presenting their anti-Covid-19 vaccination documents, immediately move to the facilities of the Cayo Santamaría hotel belonging to the tourist pole of the North Cayería in the central Cuban province of Villa Clara.
He said that from now on the airport will receive at least two weekly flights in the first period, all belonging to Canadian airlines.
Forte indicated that the airport has already implemented all the biosafety protocols established for the management of flights with other countries without the risk of contagion from Covid-19.
He specified that a flight from the Canadian airline Air Transat is expected on November 5 and that, like the previous ones, travelers will receive all health care after a rearrangement of the airport with the public health entity.
The official said that air transportation will have a visible increase for the first months of 2022 because they are periods of high demand from international tourism, and that it will also have the entry of airlines from other countries.
