Miami-based Global Crossing Airlines (GlobalX) has signed an agreement with CubaMax Travel to provide nine flights a week to Havana and Santa Clara.
The contract will provide revenues to GlobalX of up to $12 million per year and will start April 1 2023. GlobalX expects to generate revenues of over $30 million per year if the contract, which the carrier described as "long term", is expanded to 23 flights a week to five Cuban cities.
“We are very pleased to be working with CubaMax, one of the largest tour operators to Cuba, and their outstanding team, to provide this much needed air service for Cuban Americans who need to travel to Cuba, providing an important life line for the Cuban people,” said Ed Wegel, chair and chief executive of GlobalX.
“We look forward to working with GlobalX, which has quickly established itself as the leading charter airline to Cuba. We are excited to be using their fleet of passenger friendly Airbus A320s and 321s in this market,” said Giraldo Acosta, chairman of CubaMax.
