American Airlines, the biggest flier from Miami International Airport, has asked the US Department of Transportation for clearance to resume flights to five destinations in Cuba, outside Havana where it already flies six daily flights from Miami.
The move could broadly open commercial air travel to the island, after strict limitations had been imposed in December 2019 by the former Trump administration to squash Cuban tourism. The Biden administration lifted those limits on June 2.
If federal permission is granted, American will start flight service in November between Miami and Santa Clara, Holguín, Matanzas/Varadero, Camagüey, and Santiago de Cuba.
