3x MIA-HAV Mon-Thu (12)
4x MIA-HAV Fri-Sun (12)
1x TPA-HAV Fri-Sat-Sun (3)
1x JFK-HAV Fri-Sat-Sun (3)
I could see 1x daily from JFK. As far as TPA, I tend to doubt it. Why not just funnel them through MIA? Much of it will depend upon how much business development is allowed in Cuba. TPA/ORL has a huge PR population but yet AA has no direct flights to SJU.
