Airport contact
Purpose-built in December 2002 to serve the Cayo Coco / Cayo Guillermo beach-resort archipelago, replacing a long road transfer from Ciego de Ávila's Máximo Gómez Airport; traffic is overwhelmingly seasonal international leisure charter/scheduled service, historically dominated by Canadian carriers (Air Canada, WestJet, Air Transat/Sunwing) plus Russian charter operator Nordwind — mainline Iberia and Air France do not serve Cayo Coco directly (they operate to Havana). As of mid-2026 CCC is one of nine Cuban international gateways affected by the nationwide Jet A-1 shortage that began Feb 10, 2026 (tied to the wider Cuban energy crisis and reduced Venezuela-sourced oil); Air Canada suspended CCC service from Feb 9, 2026 with resumption not expected before Nov 1, 2026, and Air Transat/WestJet-Sunwing Cayo Coco packages were suspended through roughly Oct 9, 2026 — verify current fuel status, schedule, and operating hours directly with ECASA before relying on this record.

ECASA (Empresa Cubana de Aeropuertos y Servicios Aeronáuticos S.A.)
ECASA holds the nationwide mandate to sell and provision aviation fuel, lubricants and specialty liquids to airlines at the Cuban airports it operates, including CCC. Cuba's Jet A-1 shortage left MUCC/CCC confirmed fuel-less by NOTAM from 10 Feb to 11 Mar 2026, an outage later extended into April 2026, with national reserves reported nearly depleted as of June 2026; no confirmation of restored routine bunkering at CCC was found as of this verification date.
