B6 to Cuba! (sort of)
 

Hi All,

It's officially approved from US Customs Border Protections & Immigrations, too. B6 will fly to HAV goes on effective September 12, 2011. Only for Cuban born and not an US Citizen.

Best of luck to B6 served to Havana, Cuba.

Sounds like a third party is chartering B6 to do the runs. B6 operates it but the other company books the passengers. Am I correct reading it that way?

Nothing new except maybe that they're using Jet Blue aircraft. It's common practice that companies charter name brand planes to Cuba.

When I was at FLL on Thursday they had listed a departure to Havana as a test.

Major U.S. carriers have been flying to HAV on this basis for decades.

I used to work in Havana as a reporter and, although we would always use non-commercial charters, I often saw AA and CO planes parked on the tarmac.
