U.S. Announces Restoration Of Commercial Flights To Cuba

But U.S. Law Still Prohibits Travel To Cuba For Tourism

United States and Cuba reached a bilateral arrangement Wednesday to establish scheduled air services between the two countries.

This arrangement will continue to allow charter operations and establish scheduled air service, which will facilitate an increase in authorized travel, enhance traveler choices, and promote people-to-people links between the two countries.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Transportation Affairs Thomas Engle led the U.S. interagency delegation, and Ambassador Yuri Gala Lopez led the Cuban delegation.

While U.S. law continues to prohibit travel to Cuba for tourist activities, a stronger civil aviation relationship will facilitate growth in authorized travel between our two countries—a critical component of the President’s policy toward Cuba.

“United Airlines congratulates the U.S. and Cuban governments on reaching this historic arrangement, which will strengthen ties and economic development between the two countries," the airline said in a statement released to the media. "We look forward to offering service between our global gateways and Cuba as soon as we have approval to do so.”
