Russia’s Rossiya Airlines, a subsidiary of Aeroflot, resumed on Saturday its regular flights between Moscow and Varadero (Cuba), which had been suspended since Western countries closed Russia’s airspace in response to the invasion of Ukraine
Initially, the route will operate two flights per week (Monday and Saturday) on Boeing 777 aircraft, increasing to three weekly flights starting in September.

“The demand for tickets was huge,” Rossiya Airlines spokesman Sergey Staryakov told the official Russian news agency TASS, noting that the first flight was “almost 100 percent full.”
Deputy Prime Minister for Tourism, Sport, Culture and Communications Dmitry Chernyshenko announced in May that regular flights to Cuba bordering the airspace of “unfriendly” countries would resume in July.
