Scheduled air travel connects Havana’s Jos Mart International Airport (HAV) and Cayo Largo del Sur’s Vilo Acua Airport (CYO). This air link provides efficient transport between Cuba’s capital city and the popular resort island, a journey impractical by other means. Typically, these flights are short, direct, and utilize smaller aircraft suited to the runway and passenger volume.
Air service is crucial for Cayo Largo del Sur’s tourism-based economy. It enables a significant influx of visitors seeking the island’s pristine beaches and recreational activities. This connection fosters economic development for the island and supports its role as a prominent Cuban destination. Historically, air travel has superseded other modes of transport, facilitating the island’s growth as a tourist hub.
