From Aug 31, JetBlue will launch thrice-weekly flights between the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and Santa Clara airport, with fares starting at US$99 one-way. The airline will upgrade this service to daily flights from Oct 1, also offering daily flights from Fort Lauderdale to Camaguey from Nov 3 and to Holguin from Nov 10. Silver Airways is set to be the second US airline to operate flights from the US to Cuba, launching service from Fort Lauderdale to Santa Clara Sept 1. <br/>
