Do Cuban planes fly to Nicaragua?

Amidst the sanctions imposed by the United States on companies dedicated to transporting migrants on the route to Nicaragua, flights of Cuban aircraft belonging to the airlines Cubana de Aviación and Aerogaviota were reported this week.

The route to Nicaragua appears to have been restored thanks to the intervention of the Cuban government fleet, according to reports by networks and independent media. To date, the Cuban airport company ECASA has not officially commented on this matter.

Cuban planes heading to Nicaragua? New business?

So far, they have been on board Conviasa, the Venezuelan airline, which maintains its flights with a stop in Cuba. Their flights depart from Caracas, stop in Havana and then continue on to Managua. Aruba Airlines also continues to do so from Havana and Holguin. From the Cuban capital, the road to Nicaragua is direct, while from Holguin you must stop in Aruba, according to official data.

Regarding the possible flights of Cuban aircraft on the route to Nicaragua, since this month, some media supportive of the Cuban government have praised the resumption of these flights. So this other flight route to Managua will likely become official very soon.
