The distance between Switzerland and Cuba is 7.982 km.
If we take a Boeing 747-400 with 416 Passengers we need 120'000 liter Kerosin to fly this distance. One liter Kerosin is 10 kWh. If we divide it by the amount of passenger that are in the plane we you would calculate as followed:
120'000 liter Kerosin = 288.46 liter Kerosin per passenger
416 passenger
288.46 x 10 kWh/liter = 2'884.61 kWh per passenger
So one person consume 2'884.61 kWh to fly one-way from Switzerland to Cuba.

My vision of our project is that I know more about the corona situation in Cuba. I want to know how it is to live in Cuba while Corona. What can they do, what measures do they have, what do they think of the measures and so on.
My imagination of our project is that in Cuba the situation is much harder then in switzerland. I can imagine that the government of Cuba do more strict measures than the government of switzerland. But I think not only the measures are harder than in switzerland. Also the living situation is much harder. To get food, to get necessary things for live, to meet friends, to go out and so on.
