Air conditioning problems at Cuba’s main airport since May
Since early May, José Martí International Airport, the main gateway to Cuba, has had problems with its air conditioning system.
High temperatures in Havana, which have exceeded 32 degrees, are aggravating the situation, making the atmosphere in the terminals uncomfortable for both workers and passengers.
The situation has generated numerous negative comments from travellers. “The way services are provided to passengers is unacceptable” and “it’s a sauna” are some of the criticisms expressed by users.
