A new agreement between the governments of Cuba and the United States have agreed to resume commercial flights between the two countries for the first time in more than a half a century.
According to the State Department: “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,” according to the announcement.”
That doesn’t mean just anyone will be able to hop on a flight to Havana. The United States still will bar people from visiting the country if their sole reason is tourism. Proper visas will still be required. It does mean, though, that airlines can submit US-Cuba service proposals to the department of transportation, and eventually schedule commercially available flights.
