U.S. airline JetBlue will add a second charter flight from New York's JFK Airport to Havana, expanding charter service ahead of an expected opening of commercial air travel between the two countries.
The company made the announcement on Monday.
The new round-trip, non-stop flight will operate every Tuesday, starting December 1, in partnership with Cuba Travel Services, a travel provider licensed by the U.S. Government to arrange flights to Cuba.
The two companies currently operate one of two other JFK-to-Havana charter flights. Several other charter flights take passengers to Cuba from Florida.
Under new rules, initiated by U.S President Barack Obama in January, a month after he announced detente with the former Cold War adversary, U.S. airlines are permitted to fly to Cuba without the need for special permission from the Treasury Department.
