Cuba Suspends Mexico Flights to Prevent Swine Flu

HAVANA, Cuba, April 29 (acn) Following the Cuban National Civil Defense Council's issuing of the Alert Stage for the country in the face of swine flu, the island's Civil Aeronautics Institute has temporarily suspended regular and charter flights to and from Mexico starting this Wednesday.

An official statement issued by the institute early April 29 announced that airlines operating between the two countries will only be allowed to fly into the island to pick up passengers travelling to Mexico.

In addition, all travellers arriving in Cuba from any destination will be required to fill in a Traveller's Health Declaration, says the statement.

The Aeronautics Authority will communicate the Cuban State's decision in relation to these measures to the International Civil Aeronautics Organization.

Flights will be resumed once the causes that led to their suspension are no longer a threat to the island, of which interested parties will be duly informed.
