The flight will be offered by Cuba Travel Services, a carrier service provider with offices in California, New York, and Florida. The agency already arranges Tuesday flights operated by Sun Country airlines to Havana, but JetBlue is the first major US carrier to announce direct flights to Cuba since the recent easing of travel restrictions.
By adding a second rotation with JetBlue on Fridays, Cuba Travel Services will provide more flexibility for passengers wanting to travel around the weekend. Beginning on July 3rd, the flight to Havana will depart from JFK at noon each Friday, and arrive to Havana’s Jose Marti International Airport.
"We are very excited to partner with yet another prestigious carrier such as JetBlue," Cuba Travel Services general manager Michael Zuccato said. "A second JKF rotation will provide additional options for travelers in the Tri-State area as well as those connecting passengers that prefer a New York gateway to Cuba."
