The Havana Times reports that the Panamanian carrier Copa Airlines announced Monday a new flight from Panama to the Cuban city of Santa Clara.

The new link will begin on December 9, and will feature two weekly flights (Tuesdays and Saturdays).

According to the note, this will be the first scheduled flight of an international airline to a city in the interior of Cuba.

The sales executive of the company, Nelson Cabrera, said the flight will provide a new alternative for tourism to Cayo Santa Maria “a popular destination in the archipelago.”
