## Description

The airport at Bayamo carries the name of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, who proclaimed Cuba's independence struggle in 1868, and serves the capital of Granma province in the island's east under the codes BYM and MUBY. Its single runway measures 2,099 by 45 metres and lies about 3.5 km from the city centre. Domestic links to Havana once defined the schedule, but Cubana de Aviación no longer lists Bayamo among its destinations, leaving scheduled service intermittent at best. No cargo terminal, freighter handling or international customs post is confirmed at the field. Air freight for eastern Cuba is handled at Holguín (HOG) and Santiago de Cuba (SCU), with international consignments clearing through the Aerovaradero facility at Havana (HAV); both regional airports lie roughly two hours from Bayamo by road on the Carretera Central. Persistent fuel and foreign-currency shortages continue to constrain flight frequencies and handling capacity across the Cuban network.
