In airline parlance, a one-day layover normally means a full rest day between two night-stops.
This will quite popular as Cuba will begin to reopen from pandemic times. Many people may or may not realize it but Cuba is now working fast to have 70% of its population vaccinated by mid November and quarantines are scheduled to be discontinued for November.
If these flights to Havana are not fully possible how about Holguin and Santiago as alternates? The market is there.
