Havana [Cuba], May 18: Local authorities said that the first flight to resume air links between Cuba and China arrived in Havana on Friday, with a stopover in Spain, which will enhance connectivity and facilitate exchanges between the two countries.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner of Air China was received at the Jose Marti International Airport in Havana with the traditional water salute.
Starting with two flights per week, it is hoped that the airline frequency will increase as passenger traffic between the two countries grows.
