In September, the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (ROSAVIATSIA) confirmed that airlines were planning to resume direct flights to Cuba in the near future, and in October, a major tour operator, Pegas Touristik, in association with the charter company Nordwind Airlines, resumed flights to Varadero and Cayo Coco, in Cuba.
