Caribbean Airlines did not leave Cuba while commercial flights to the island were suspended. Throughout the pandemic, the airline has worked in partnership with regional governments to provide charter services to groups of Cuban medical professionals traveling to support COVID-19 virus management in the Caribbean.
On October 31, Caribbean Airlines in collaboration with the Government of Barbados operated a special charter from Barbados to transport a Cuban medical team that completed its term of service on the island. On November 10, another special flight will be operated to transport these professionals.
