The Havana airport improves its luggage management with the implementation of a new estate system in terminal 3, an area that has been strongly criticized by delays in the delivery of suitcases.

Can Havana airport improve its luggage management permanently?

While Havana airport improves its luggage management with this investment, some passengers are still skeptical. Over the years, terminal 3 has been criticized for excessive delays, customs problems and lack of air conditioning in certain areas.

In addition, the recovery of air traffic in Cuba is still slow. Currently, the airport has only reached 65 % of the passenger flow compared to 2019.

More changes in Havana airport: What’s follows?

The authorities have announced that Havana’s airport improves its luggage management as part of a plan that will run until 2030.

This plan includes:

• Extension in terminal 2 and terminal 3.
• Improvements in the airports of Santiago de Cuba, Varadero and Cayo Largo del Sur.
• Greater investment in air conditioning and basic services.

Despite these promises, travelers expect the new steter to really optimize the delivery of luggage and reduce the long waits.
