Havana, the Cuban capital, received the first Russian flight in three years on Sunday, marking the resumption of air travel between the two nations after a pandemic-induced hiatus.
According to the Russian news agency TASS, the airline "Rossiya," a subsidiary of the "Aeroflot" group, operated a direct flight between the two capitals for the first time since 2020 when both Russia and Cuba suspended air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The flight carried more than 300 passengers.
The Russian airline will now regularly operate two flights per week to Cuba, strengthening the aviation links between the two countries.
