In recent years, the economic and trade ties between
China and Cuba have become increasingly close. Air China's Montreal - Havana - Beijing service will not only become a new
link between China and
Cuba, but also further the
economic, trade and cultural cooperation between the two countries,
giving a further boost to Cuba's
tourism in particular. The new service will be the first of the
kind between China and
Cuba, making it much easier to
travel between China and other
Asian regions and Cuba, and
offering an easy option to travelers in Cuba and the Caribbean who can fly on Air China to
Beijing and then connect to other
parts of the world.
The Beijing - Montreal
- Havana service represents
a tangible move by Air China to
expand its footprint in the Central and South American regions. In
