Camaguey Airport (CMW) Information

Where is Camaguey Airport?  

Camagüey, Cuba's 3rd largest city, was once a seaside town, relocated inland in the 1500's to escape almost constant attacks by pirates. After a fire in the 1700's, it was re-built as a maze of confusing winding alleys, blind alleys and forked streets that lead to squares of different sizes. This made Camagüey easy to defend, as it was hard for attackers to navigate. There is only one exit from the city; should attackers ever enter the city, the hope was that the local inhabitants would be able to entrap and kill them (!). Today it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it makes for fun exploring.

Camaguey International Airport (IATA: CMW, ICAO: MUCM), also called Ignacio Agramonte International Airport, Ignacio Agramonte Airport or simply Camaguey Airport is located near Camaguey city, the capital of Camaguey province, in central Cuba.
