The Cuban Aviation Corporation informs that, due to the weather conditions caused by tropical storm "Rafael," operations will be suspended at several airports across the country.
The measure affects the airports of Girona, Cayo Largo del Sur, Havana, and Varadero, starting at midnight tonight, Tuesday, November 5, until noon on Thursday, November 7, as indicated by Transport Minister Eduardo Rodríguez Dávila on Facebook.
This decision is in response to the imminent threat posed by the tropical storm in the western region of Cuba, where its effects are expected to be felt directly.
Cuban authorities have taken all necessary precautions to protect both passengers and airport infrastructure.
Passengers with flights scheduled during this suspension period should contact the agency or airline through which they purchased their tickets to arrange the rescheduling of their trip.
The airlines have already been notified and are taking the necessary measures to reorganize their operations and ensure the safety of travelers.
On the other hand, the remaining international airports in the country continue to operate normally, with no disruptions to scheduled flights.
The official advises travelers to pay attention to official announcements and follow the authorities' instructions to ensure their safety during the storm.
This afternoon it was reported that Tropical Storm Rafael continues to strengthen as it moves toward the western part of Cuba. According to the latest forecast model from the National Hurricane Center (NHC), the right side, also referred to as the "dirty side" of the storm, will directly impact Havana.
According to the website of the International Hurricane Research Center, part of Florida International University, the most intense area of Rafael—expected to impact Cuba with hurricane force—could bring strong winds, torrential rains, and dangerous surf, increasing the risk of disasters in the Cuban capital.
