Do the hurricanes hit Havana or Camaguey? Do they affect airliners?

It is very rare that the same hurricane hit both Havana and Camaguey. They normally go through from southeast to northwest and in very few occasions they move along the island from east to west. Havana and Camaguey can both be hit but not by the same hurricane. This is the season for hurricanes in the Caribbean, the Golf of Mexico, Florida and Yucatan. So keep an eye on the weather forecast.

Airlines will be affected if there is a threat of a hurricane. The Cuban authorities are very good when it comes to safety issues related to weather conditions. Domestic flights will be most likely cancelled 12 to 24 hours prior to hurricane arrival and depending on the damages they can start again 24 hours later. The same situation happens on schedule international flight.
