Cuba Opens New Flight Connecting the Dominican Republic

Cuban airline Aerocaribbean will inaugurate a flight between Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and the Haitian capital of Port au Prince in July.

Announcing this, the airline added that flight frequency between popular tourist resort Punta Cana and the main Cuban beach city of Varadero will be increased to twice a week from July 8.

Besides, a third weekly flight from Santiago de Cuba to Port au Prince is likely to be operated between June 24 and Oct. 21 this year.

Those moves are a notable step toward attracting multi-destination tourists in the region, offering increased travel options to Cuban collaborators, Caribbean students in Cuba and their relatives, as well as business and leisure travelers.

Aerocaribbean runs regular flights from Cuba to Nicaragua, Honduras, the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
