The airport’s relatively compact scale works in private travellers’ favour, ensuring swift ground handling and a direct transfer to the Varadero and Kawama resort strip within minutes.

About Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport

Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport, identified by IATA code VRO and ICAO code MUVR, is an international airport serving the Varadero peninsula and the broader Matanzas Province of Cuba.

The 3,000-metre runway is capable of handling aircraft up to and including widebody jets, supporting charter operations from Europe, North America, and Latin America. Terminal facilities include international arrivals processing with immigration and customs clearance, and private and charter aircraft are handled on the apron with dedicated coordination available through airport operations.
