First commercial flight in more than 50 years from US lands in Cuba
The first commercial flight between the United States and Cuba in more than a half century landed in the central city of Santa Clara on Wednesday, re-establishing regular air service severed at the height of the Cold War.
The flight of JetBlue 387 opens a new era of US-Cuba travel, with about 300 flights a week connecting the US with an island cut off from most Americans by the 55-year-old trade embargo on Cuba and formal ban on US citizens engaging in tourism on the island.
