Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport, previously known as Varadero Airport, is an international airport that serves Varadero, Cuba, as well as the province of Matanzas. Situated 5 kilometers away from the village of Carbonera, it is closer to the city of Matanzas than to Varadero itself. In 2009, Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport handled 1.28 million passengers, making it the second busiest airport in Cuba, following José Martí International Airport in Havana.
Constructed in 1989 and inaugurated by Fidel Castro, Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport replaced the old Varadero airport located in Santa Marta, which is now known as Kawama Airport. The airport derives its name from Juan Gualberto Gómez (1854–1933), a journalist, Cuban independence fighter, and advocate for black rights in Cuba.
The terminal building offers various shops catering to tourists, including those selling rum, cigars, T-shirts, books, carvings, and pharmaceuticals. These shops are located both before the customs checkpoint and within a spacious departure lounge on the upper level. Additionally, there is a smaller air-conditioned VIP lounge on the lower level.
Most of the ground handling equipment at Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport is imported from North America. While there are four jet bridges serving parking areas 2 to 5, air stairs are used for aircraft parking space #1 on the apron adjacent to the terminal.
In April 2020, Cuba temporarily suspended all scheduled flights. However, in October 2020, it was announced that the airport would reopen for flights with certain restrictions in place, creating a tourist “bubble.” Subsequently, the province transitioned to the “new normality,” and the airport resumed regular commercial flights, including services from Mexico and the UK.
