The English tour operator Iron Travel has just signed an agreement with the Spanish company Grupo Euroairlines for the start of new air routes between Cuba and the United Kingdom that will begin in May 2024.
A note released by the tourism analyst, José Luis Perelló, in his Facebook profile indicates that after the agreement signed by both parties, the British entity will have access to a network of travel agencies, OTAs, aggregators and consolidators present in more than 60 countries provided by the Spanish Euroairlines.
The new routes will be exclusive connecting both countries with direct flights between the cities of London (Gatwick) and Manchester with Holguín and Cayo Coco, respectively, which they will be distributed through the Euroairlines IATA board Q4-291. The tour operator Iron Travel currently offers different services in Cuba, including regular and seasonal flights, car rental, accommodation and excursions. In a statement about the new agreement, Antonio López Lázaro, executive director (CEO) of the Euroairlines Group, meant that it will intensify and consolidate the company's presence in Latin America, because “for us, Iron Travel is a strategic partner that will allow us to reinforce our presence in a very important area for international tourism.”
At Euroairlines we prioritize customer satisfaction and that is why we continually seek new alliances to be able to offer the best connections to our users and that they reach their destination more directly, López Lázaro added. According to statistics from the Cuban Company of Airports and Aeronautical Services (ECASA). Currently, 45 international airlines operate on the island: 19 from Latin America, 15 from Europe, 4 Canadians, 4 from the USA, one from Africa, China and Rutaca from Venezuela.
