U.S. Approves 8 More Airports for Charter Service to Cuba

(Dive Travel Business News - March 12, 2011) -- Federal regulations announced in January 2011 that expanded religious, academic, cultural and journalistic travel between the U.S. and Cuba have prompted the approval of eight new U.S. airports to offer passenger charter flights from the U.S. to/from Cuba. 

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency is allowing airports in Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas/Fort Worth, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Tampa and San Juan to offer charter air service to the destination. Charter flights currently operate from Los Angeles, Miami and New York LaGuardia, primarily for travel by family members to visit relatives in Cuba. 

Cuba is already a top destination for leisure travelers from Canada and Europe. Cuba is a popular spot for scuba diving with wrecks, reefs and plenty of marine life.
