Havana, March 12 (RHC) -– The Cuban Tourism Ministry announced that Switzerland’s Edelweiss Airlines Company will increase flights to Havana as part of its schedules for the 2015-2016 winter season.

Edelweiss had already added an additional direct flight to Havana in May. But, as of October this year, the airlines company will increase those operations with two flights every Monday and Thursday.

Edelweiss began operating in Havana in May 2014 with significant success due to, among other reasons, the warmth and hospitality of the Cuban people, their culture and diversity, representatives with the airline company said.

Edelweiss transports over 1.3 million passengers from Zürich to more than forty destinations every year.
