Aeroflot begins to operate direct flights to Cuba

Aeroflot launches flights from Saint Petersburg to Istanbul and Antalya

Starting from July 1st, Aeroflot will offer nonstop service between Moscow and Cuba. Rossiya Airlines uses wide-body Boeing 777 aircraft to fly passengers to the well-known Cuban resort of Varadero. With virtually a full commercial load, the first flight departed from Sheremetyevo airport.

Flights will initially be run on Thursdays and Saturdays twice a week. Depending on demand, the flight schedule to Cuba will grow in the future. In May 2023, as part of the 20th meeting of the Russian-Cuban Intergovernmental Commission, the Russian delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Aeroflot CEO Sergey Alexandrovsky made the decision to resume regular flights from Moscow to Cuba.

“Cuba is a key partner of Russia in Central America, and it is absolutely logical that it is necessary to develop economic relations between our countries,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. — However, Russians choose to have a vacation in Cuba because it is a cost-effective, safe, and visa-free destination. Regular flights to Cuba will resume on July 1 at the President of the Russian Federation’s request. By the end of 2023, overall passenger traffic, including charter and scheduled flights, could reach roughly 150 thousand people as a result of this action, achieving pre-pandemic indications.

Beach enthusiasts frequently visit Varadero all year long. Tourists will have the option of bypassing Havana and traveling directly to the resort thanks to Aeroflot’s direct flights to Varadero.
