Farewell to US-Cuba Charter Flights
March 14, 2020
March 9, 2020 (Resumen Latinoamericano).- US companies that provided charter service to Cuban airports stopped flying to the island, with the exception of Havana, this evening in compliance with a ban from the US government.
It is one more tightening of the blockade that the White House has applied to Cuba, arguing that these actions are directed against the government of the Caribbean island, not the Cuban people or their families who come to see them from the US.
Now nine provincial Cuban airports will no longer be receiving charter flights from US territory, with the exception of Havana but it, too, will operate with limitations.
Washington’s decision complements another from last October, when landings and takeoffs of regular US airlines in Cuban territory were also suspended, with the exception of those to the Jose Marti International Airport in Havana.
