Sierra Maestra International (IATA: MZO) is an airport built around tourism rather than freight, serving Manzanillo on Cuba's southeastern coast. It was upgraded to international standard in the 1990s for Canadian and European charters, but currently operates without regular scheduled or charter service. There is no cargo terminal and no freighter traffic; any air freight is limited to belly space when flights run. Shipments for eastern Cuba move through José Martí International (HAV) in Havana, while the port city of Manzanillo handles its own goods by sea. For forwarders, MZO is a standby passenger field, not an air-cargo option.
