(EUROPA PRESS).- Iberojet, the Spanish airline of Ávoris Corporación Empresarial, has announced the start-up of a new route that will connect Madrid with Santiago de Cuba as of November 11. The date coincides with the beginning of the high season in the Caribbean.
This flight, which will be direct and non-stop, will take place once a week on board an Airbus 330, available from this Wednesday on the Iberojet website and in all official channels for sale to the public from 283 euros each way .
This direct flight route to the second most important city on the island by number of inhabitants will be operational throughout the year.
Last December, Iberojet opened its first office in the Miramar Trade Center in Havana, reinforcing the company’s commitment in the country
In addition to operating this direct flight Madrid-Santiago de Cuba, for travelers who decide to get to know the country in depth, Iberojet offers the possibility of combining the airports of Santiago de Cuba and Havana to get in and out.
Last December, Iberojet opened its first office in the Miramar Trade Center in Havana. In addition, the airline has increased the number of frequencies planned for this summer, going from three weekly flights Madrid-Havana to five, plus one from Lisbon to Varadero, in high season.
The strengthening of the connectivity of Santiago de Cuba, possible thanks to the collaboration with the Cuban State, seeks to attract more travelers and promote the economic development of the destination, in a sector that has suffered a debacle from which it has not recovered after the covid-19 pandemic.
Despite the fact that Cuba received 313,908 visitors between January and March, the figure is far from the 1,470,457 tourists that the Island registered in the first quarter of 2019.
Just a few days ago, the British airline Virgin Atlantic decided to postpone the return of its flights to Cuba, scheduled for next November 1. Without going into details, through a statement, he argued that the decision was due to the “complexity of the operation.”
