About Frank País International Airport

Frank País International Airport, identified by IATA code HOG and ICAO code MUHG, is named in honour of Cuban revolutionary Frank País and has served as the primary air gateway to eastern Cuba for several decades. The airport is state-operated under Empresa Cubana de Aeropuertos y Servicios Aeronáuticos (ECASA), which oversees ground handling, fuelling, and passenger services across Cuba’s international airports. Its 3,000-metre runway is capable of handling medium to large-body aircraft, and the airport regularly receives wide-body commercial charters from Canada and Europe during the winter tourist season. Private aviation passengers are processed through a dedicated area separate from the main commercial terminal, with Cuban customs and immigration officials available to conduct on-site clearance. The airport’s location in the agriculturally productive Holguín Province, historically significant for sugarcane and nickel mining, reflects the region’s broader economic and strategic importance.
