## Description

Aerovaradero S.A., Cuba's specialist ground handler, runs the freight side of Frank País International Airport (IATA: HOG, ICAO: MUHG), offering forwarding, airline representation, general and perishable cargo handling and refrigerated storage. The airport lies 13 kilometres south-west of Holguín in eastern Cuba and doubles as the gateway to the Guardalavaca resort strip, with Playa Pesquero, Playa Esmeralda, Playa Yuraguanal and Playa Guardalavaca on its doorstep. Two terminals, one international and one smaller domestic building, served one domestic and ten international routes in 2025, mostly Canadian and European services with a strong seasonal profile. Freighter operations are not confirmed here, so most consignments travel as belly cargo on those leisure flights. Provincial exports such as tobacco, coffee and sugar make up the bulk of the outbound flow. Cuban import and export formalities run through the state customs authority, the Aduana General de la República, which makes lead times and documentation checks hard to plan, so larger or urgent volumes are usually consolidated at Havana-José Martí (HAV). Santiago de Cuba (SCU), roughly 200 road kilometres to the south-west, and Camagüey (CMW) serve as regional fallbacks.
