6 U.S. Airlines Approved for Cuba Flights

Americans will be able to fly commercial to Cuba in the fall, the U.S. Transportation Department announced on Friday.

The Transportation Department approved six U.S. airlines—American, JetBlue, Frontier, Southwest, Sun Country and Silver Airways—to fly to Cuba, marking the first time in decades that non-charter flights have been scheduled to the island.

Flights could begin as early as the fall from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, Philadelphia, Chicago and Minneapolis/St.
