14ymedio, Havana, December 3, 2023 — The German company TUI, the largest tour operator in the world, will stop operating the route between Manchester, United Kingdom and Varadero, Cuba starting in April 2024, company sources reported. According to the specialized portal Reportur, the flights scheduled between the United Kingdom and Cuba for this winter – the only connection that currently exists between the two nations – will remain as planned.
“We periodically review our flight schedule and, as a result, we will no longer operate to Cuba as of the summer of 2024,” a TUI spokesperson told the tourism magazine Travel Weekly. He added that customers who already had reservations “will be contacted directly and offered a free change to another long-haul destination” or a 100% refund of their ticket.
With this suspension, a person can only fly from Europe to the Island through airlines such as World2Fly, Air France, Condor, Air Europa, KLM and Iberia, which work together with British Airways for this destination.
