Alitalia Cuba bound

ALITALIA is to begin direct flights in November from #Italy to #Cuba, which will operate twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays,starting 29 November from Rome to Havana . This is the fourth new long-haul destination started this year by #Alitalia following successful launches to Santiago, Mexico City and Beijing.

Cuba has long been a popular tourist destination for Italian holiday makers and is increasingly being added to cruise ship itineraries. And with trade growing between Italy and Cuba the new route should also attract business traffic with Italian exporters and for those looking to invest in the Cuban market.

Cramer Ball, Alitalia CEO said, “Tourism and business in Cuba have great growth prospects for Italians and this new service to this wonderful island will go towards fulfilling that ambition. The Havana flights is yet further confirmation of Alitalia's strategy to build our long-haul network of intercontinental flights to give Italians greater opportunities to travel further afield for both leisure and business.”

New airport for Antigua & Barbuda

ANTIGUA & BARBUDA has opened one of the most modern airports in the #Caribbean. The size of the terminal at the V.C. Bird International Airport has been doubled. 

There are four jet bridges, a state-of-the-art baggage sorting and scanning system, 46 check-in counters, 15 self-check-in kiosks, a pet restroom, 30 retail outlets, a VIP lounge, and for very, very important people, a VVIP lounge.

The US$100 million (£62.3 million) development was funded by a China EXIM Bank concessional loan, and by a Chinese government interest-free loan.
