Virgin Atlantic has axed plans to restart London flights to Havana due to "unique complexities" with Cuban operations.

The airline has apologised for any disruption its decision causes

A spokesperson for the airline told TTG impacted customers will be contacted to inform them of the cancellations and their options, including a travel voucher or a full refund for their cancelled flight or package holiday.

Those who booked via a third party, such as a travel agent, have been advised to contact them directly to discuss their options. Heathrow had planned to operate the route from Heathrow. Pre-pandemic, Virgin flew to Havana from Gatwick.

"As we emerge from the pandemic we’ve had to make careful decisions about our network, with regular review of flying and holiday schedules," the spokesperson added.
