COMMERCIAL flights from the USA to all airports in Cuba except for the capital, Havana, have been banned by the Trump administration, in a move said to effectively “put another nail in the coffin for Cuban travel”.
The new order calls for a 45-day wind down of services to Santiago, Varadero and Santa Clara, which will also have a major impact on VFR travel.
The aviation ban follows a similar impost on cruise ship visits by Americans to Cuba implemented earlier this year (TD 06 Jun) which forced most operators to rejig itineraries.
The initiatives aim to starve the Cuban government of cash.
Services to Havana – which account for the majority of US flights to Cuba – will remain legal.
