Almost a week after the first charter flights from the United States were announced to Santa Clara and HolguinAs of this Thursday, the Cuban Airport and Airport Services Company (Ecasa) announced the complete schedule of operations to the rest of the provinces of Cuba during this month.
Thus, from the Antonio Maceo International Airport in Santiago de Cuba, as of June 20, there will be a flight on Mondays and another on Fridays to Miami, and from the Ignacio Agramonte Airport in Camagüey, as of June 23, there will be a flight on Thursday and another on Saturday to Miami.
From this June 16, as planned, they will fly from the Abel Santa María International Airport in Santa Clara, one flight on Thursdays, another on Sundays and another on Wednesdays to Miami and one on Sunday and another on Wednesday to Tampa.
Flights have not yet been announced for the remaining airports: Cayo Largo, Cayo Coco, Manzanillo, Cienfuegos and Matanzas
Finally, from the Frank País airport in Holguín, a flight will depart, starting on Friday, on Monday, another on Tuesday and another on Friday to Miami and one on Tuesday to Tampa.
The resumption of trips from US territory to the provinces comes after Washington’s announcement, on May 16, to resume the family reunification program and abolish the limit of 1,000 dollars per quarter to send remittances to the Island.
These measures, imposed two and a half years ago by then President Donald Trump, in retaliation for the collaboration of the Cuban government in the repression in Venezuela, were aimed, according to the US, at restricting the economic resources of the Havana regime.
Flights have not yet been announced for the remaining airports that were affected by the restriction: Cayo Largo, Cayo Coco, Manzanillo, Cienfuegos and Matanzas.
