"JetBlue already has a proven track record of
providing outstanding service to the Caribbean
and has operated a series of successful charters
to Cuba since 2011," said Scott
Laurence, senior vice president airline planning
at JetBlue. "As interest in Cuban markets grows,
JetBlue is positioning itself as a leading
carrier to the island nation by operating more
convenient flight options than ever."
The New York-Havana charter service was
announced in May shortly after a successful
trade mission trip to
Cuba
with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. The
Governor, joined by JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes and
other New York
business leaders, led a dialogue to connect
Empire State businesses to new opportunities in Cuba.
Cuba Travel Services is offering the flight,
operated by JetBlue, on Fridays from
New York. Travelers
should make arrangements directly with Cuba
Travel Services. The company is a authorized
carrier service provider, arranges daily,
non-stop public charter flights between the United States and
Cuba
and is licensed by the U.S. Treasury
Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control
(OFAC) as an authorized Carrier Service Provider
specializing in travel to
Cuba. |
