Cuba is an iconic destination, full of culture, history and natural beauty. Considered the largest island in the Caribbean, the place is famous for its crystal-clear beaches, classic cars, colonial-era architecture and lively music scene. Despite the various complexities surrounding the region’s airline sector, including barriers created by current geopolitical circumstances, Flapper has been selling on-demand charter flights to the country since 2016.
What to do in Cuba
Cuba offers a wide variety of tourist attractions and activities to travelers. In Havana, the country’s capital, we find historic buildings, excellent cuisine, as well as a lively nightlife. Taking a walk along the Malecón, a seafront promenade, is an unmissable trip. On Varadero beach, enjoy the Caribbean sun and the crystal-clear sea. Sailing lovers can rent yachts to sail in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Furthermore, the region is known for its tobacco plantations and cigar production. There are guided farm tours to learn about the manufacturing process. The city of Viñales is one of the most popular places for visitors who want to try legitimate Cuban cigars.
Airports in Cuba
Cuba has an extensive network of around 30 public aerodromes, providing a broad and accessible airport infrastructure for air traffic, to connect travelers to different parts of the island. Among them, the main airports are:
José Martí International Airport (MUHA/HAV), located 20 km south of Havana, is the country’s main gateway. It is the largest Cuban airport, housing seven Fixed-Base Operators (FBOs) , which provide high-quality services for executive aviation.
Antonio Maceo International Airport (MUCU/SCU), located just 6 km south of the city of Santiago de Cuba, has three Fixed-Base Operators (FBOs) to meet the needs of passengers on private flights on demand.
