American Airlines TNS By Mimi Whitefield A sticking point in resumption of commercial airline service to Cuba has been resolved: U.S. air marshals will travel on certain flights to Cuba. At the request of the U.S.-Cuba Trade and Economic Council, the Transportation Security Administration released a statement addressing the issue of federal air marshals on flights to and from Cuba. Regularly scheduled service to Cuba is tentatively scheduled to resume after a hiatus of more than five decades on Aug. 31 when JetBlue begins service from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Santa Clara, Cuba. Pending final approval from the Cuban government, other airlines, including American Airlines, are scheduled to begin their inaugural service to destinations outside the Cuban capital soon after that. The U.S. Department of Transportation has tentatively approved Havana routes for eight airlines and is expected to announce final approvals later this month. “In the spirit of enhancing the security of international civil aviation, the United States and The Republic of Cuba entered into an aviation security agreement that sets forth the legal framework for the deployment of U.S.

U.S. companies interested in Cuba have until Jan. 20 to seek regulatory changes and individual licenses By Doreen Hemlock The Four Points by Sheraton in Havana and Donald Trump UPDATED Nov. 12, 10:40 a.m.: President Barack Obama’s two-year push to thaw relations with Cuba has spurred interest in U.S. real estate deals on the island and even the launch of a Four Points by Sheraton hotel in Havana this June. But Tuesday’s victory by President-elect Donald Trump could throw a chill on budding ties with the communist-led nation, analysts warn. During the campaign, Trump pledged to reverse Obama’s executive orders that warmed relations unless Cuba agrees to “restore” political freedoms on the island – a move considered unlikely by Raul Castro’s administration. Yet many executives active in U.S.-Cuba business see room for a President Trump to moderate his stance for two key reasons: The billionaire real estate developer had earlier backed détente with the island, and closer ties help U.S. business and jobs. What’s more, those Cuban-American hardliners pushing to reverse Obama’s thaw did not bring out the Cuban-American electorate for Trump in Florida.

Photo: Ramon Espinosa/Associated Press By Jose de Cordoba HAVANA—Watching President Barack Obama’s nationally televised speech to the Cuban people from her home in Havana’s once upper-class Vedado neighborhood, the eyes of retired biologist Rosa María Coro Antich grew watery. Mr. Obama made a stirring case for democracy and freedom on Tuesday, telling Cubans in a vibrant speech that people in this island nation and their relatives in the great Cuban diaspora should come together. Mr. Obama’s words struck home for Ms. Coro Antich, 64 years old. Her father’s family, most of whom have long since fled to the U.S. and Spain, had cut all ties to him because of his deep sympathy for the 1959 revolution that brought Fidel Castro to power. “For a long time I’ve wanted to make an organization of Cuban women for reconciliation,” she said, dabbing her eyes. But such groups are illegal in Cuba.

REUTERS/Enrique de la Osa By Marc Frank and Jeffrey Dastin | HAVANA/NEW YORK An expected explosion in U.S. tourism to Cuba will likely take years to materialize even after U.S. airlines resume commercial flights to the Caribbean island this week for the first time since 1961, industry officials said. JetBlue Airways Corp (JBLU.O) will pilot its historic flight from Florida to the Cuban city of Santa Clara on Wednesday, the latest step in normalizing relations that earlier this year included a visit by U.S. President Barack Obama and the first U.S. cruise to the island in decades. The planes may some day be filled with U.S. beach-goers, looking for an economical Caribbean break at resorts favored by Canadians and Europeans on the sandy keys north of Santa Clara. But for now, U.S. law and constraints on Cuba's tourism infrastructure will act as brakes on increasing demand, experts said.
