Flights from the United States to Cuban provinces will resume this June 16, and the first locations went on sale this Wednesday.
According to the representative of the Café Travel agency, Yfrain Villazón, to the Miami-based journalist Mario J. Pentón, next Thursday the Sagua Travel charter will fly to the Abel Santamaría airport and on Friday, to the Frank País García airport. It will go to Santa Clara on Thursdays and Sundays and to Holguín on Mondays and Fridays.
Tickets to travel to the Cuban provinces are already available and so far no other commercial companies, such as American Airlines, JetBlue or Southwest, have made a statement, according to Villazón.

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: Camagüey, Santiago de Cuba, Cayo Largo, Cayo Coco, Manzanillo, Cienfuegos and Matanzas.
