Frank Pais International Airport — Holguin, Cuba

Frank País International Airport, identified by HOG, takes its name from a young revolutionary who was a key organizer in the movement against the Batista government before his death in 1957. Located near the city of Holguín in eastern Cuba, the airport functions primarily as a charter and package-tourism gateway, funneling European and Canadian visitors toward the beach resorts of Guardalavaca along the northern coast. Unlike Havana's airport, HOG sees relatively little scheduled long-haul service outside the winter tourist season, when charter frequencies climb sharply to meet resort demand. The surrounding Holguín province holds historical significance in Cuban history, including sites connected to Columbus's first landfall claims and the early stirrings of the Cuban revolution. Ground transfers from the airport typically run thirty to forty minutes to reach the main resort strip.
