After a 68-year absence, Dutch airline KLM resumed operations in Havana with the Nov. 1 arrival of a flight from Amsterdam.

KLM, which connects 130 cities worldwide, will boost the number of visitors coming to Cuba, mainly from Scandinavia, Russia, Great Britain, Germany and the Netherlands, with three flights a week to Havana’s José Martí International using 285-seat MD-11 jets.

Harm Kreulen, a top executive at KLM, inaugurated the new service along with representatives of the Dutch Embassy in Havana and executives of the Cuban Civil Aeronautics Institute and the Ministry of Tourism.
