U.S. Carriers Get Green Light to Apply for Scheduled Cuba Service

By Michael B. Baker / 16 February 2016 / Contact Reporter
Share

In Havana, U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx has signed an arrangement to re-establish scheduled air service between the United States and Cuba for the first time in more than 50 years.

The arrangement allows U.S. carriers to operate a combined 20 round-trip flights a day between the United States and Havana and 10 daily between the United States and each of Cuba's nine other airports, a total of 110 round-trip flights, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Charter flights may continue as usual.

Carriers now can apply for the service slots, which the DOT expects to award this summer, giving priority to proposals that "will offer and maintain the best service to the traveling and shipping public." Most major U.S. carriers have expressed interest in flying to Cuba.
