Distance & flight time from GER
Rafael Cabrera Airport
Rafael Cabrera Airport, identified by the code GER, serves Nueva Gerona, the principal town on the Isla de la Juventud, Cuba's second-largest island south of the mainland. The airport connects the island to Havana and other Cuban cities, functioning as an essential link for residents given the island's separation from the mainland by the Caribbean Sea. Isla de la Juventud has a distinct history, having once hosted a youth education program that gave the island its name, and GER supports both everyday travel and limited tourism to its beaches and diving sites. The airport's traffic remains modest, consistent with the island's small population and Cuba's broader air travel patterns.
