JetBlue, the first US airline to resume regular flights to Cuba after diplomatic ties were restored, said Friday it was suspending all routes to the island due to restrictions faced by travellers.
Amid great fanfare, the New York-based airline carried out the first commercial flight to Cuba in 2016 in five decades after a historic rapprochement between the former Cold War foes.
“Demand for travel to the island has been significantly affected by restrictions on travel to Cuba that were put in place after we launched service,” the airline said in a statement, announcing a halt to services to the island on September 17.
