Pablo Ceriani, president of Aerolineas Argentinas, announced Monday that the company will reestablish the flight route between Buenos Aires and Havana in July of this year.
Aerolineas Argentinas suspended flights to Cuba in 2016, after Mauricio Macri – president of the South American nation between 2015 and 2019 – withdrew half of the financial support for that company. The airline maintained two direct flights per week to the Cuban capital before the end of the route between the two nations.
The decision was announced during a meeting between Ceriani and the Cuban ambassador to the River Plate nation, Pedro Pablo Prada.
The inaugural trip will be on July 4, and three weekly flights will be established between Havana and Buenos Aires.
This route is “highly requested by tourist agencies and operators, both from Argentina and from different parts of the region,” Ceriani said. Resuming flights “will contribute to deepening the cultural, economic and tourist exchange between the two countries,” he added.
