The Aerovaradero S.A and Maravana Cargo companies, from Cuba and the United States, respectively, work as of this Friday in the transportation of non-commercial cargo, according to official media on the island.
Through a contract signed on the last day of the International Transportation Fair, both companies intend to shorten the time in the delivery of non-commercial merchandise sent to the island from the United States, in particular by Cubans residing there, according to a report by Prensa Latina (PL) news agency.
The president of Maravana Cargo, Alejandro Martínez, explained that this is a company that only has two years of creation, and that it focuses its possibilities on guaranteeing customers in the United States the arrival of their shipments with the greatest security.
The general director of Aerovaradero, Mayelin Gotera, told PL that this type of contract allows them to expand their client portfolio, based on the approval of the door-to-door delivery of packages for family cargo, particularly those from the United States, with significant growth in recent years.
To materialize this commercial agreement, they will work with more than 23 micro, small and medium-sized companies (MSMEs) from all over the country, as well as with self-employed workers and state-owned enterprises, the source specified.
