History soared through the skies this week as Air China’s first Beijing-Madrid-Havana flight touched down in Cuba 🇨🇺—complete with a celebratory water salute! The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner’s arrival marks the revival of direct air links between the Chinese mainland and Cuba after a years-long hiatus due to the pandemic 🌐.
Operating twice weekly for now, the route is expected to expand as demand grows. But that’s not all: Starting Friday, Chinese tourists can explore Cuba visa-free with ordinary passports! 🎉 Ambassador Ma Hui called the developments a “game-changer” for boosting Cuba’s tourism, economy, and cross-Pacific cultural ties.
For wanderlust-driven travelers, this is your cue to book that salsa-filled Havana adventure 💃🕺. And for global biz pros eyeing Latin America? Watch this space—the skies (and opportunities) are opening up! ✨
