JetBlue expands U.S.-Cuba service ahead of expected travel opening
JetBlue Airways Corp will add a second charter flight from New York's John F. Kennedy airport to Havana, expanding charter service ahead of an expected opening of commercial air travel between the two countries, the company said on Monday.
The new round-trip, non-stop flight will operate every Tuesday starting Dec. 1 in partnership with Cuba Travel Services, a travel provider licensed by the U.S. government to arrange flights to Cuba.
"In my email inbox, I have more interest from customers for service to Cuba than for any other place," JetBlue's Chief Executive, Robin Hayes, said in an interview on the sidelines of an airline summit in Washington.
