US air carriers to begin competing for Cuba flights
US air carriers will begin competing for routes and airport slots for travel to Cuba Tuesday when an agreement takes effect to restore normal commercial air service between the two countries. The US and Cuba are expected to formally sign an agreement in Havana to resume air service between the countries. Once that happens, air carriers will have 15 days to submit applications to the DoT for the routes they’d like to fly. Senior US officials said they expect to make a decision about which carriers get which routes this summer, and US airline carriers will be able to sell tickets for them this fall. The deal reached in Washington in December allows for up to 110 flights per day to Cuba, including 20 to Havana and 10 to each of Cuba’s 9 other international airports. <br/>
