HAVANA - Cuba's state airline Cubana says it is canceling routes to seven international destinations because of Trump administration sanctions on companies that lease planes to the national carrier. The Trump administration said last Friday that it was revoking licenses of companies that lease aircraft to Cuban state-owned airlines because the airlines use the planes to take tourists to Cuba. U.S. regulations prohibit Americans from engaging in tourism in Cuba. Travel with special purposes, like visiting religious institutions or supporting private businesses and civil society, is allowed. Cuban state media reported Thursday that companies in third countries that rented planes to Cubana had canceled contracts, forcing the cancellation of routes to the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Venezuela, Haiti, Martinique and Guadeloupe. Domestic routes will also be affected. Cubana said passengers will receive refunds.
Ethernut Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 It’s a huge pastime with the Cuban Govt to blame the US Govt, for everything they can. I find this comical but the normal go-to response from Cuba. Heaven help them if relations improved, then who could they blame shift to? 1
