Official government muckety mucks signed an historic agreement yesterday that essentially fires the starting pistol for a race by the airlines to bid on 110 soon-to-be-regular flights to and from the U.S. and Cuba:
The agreement became official after it was signed Tuesday by Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and officials from the State Department, the Cuban Ministry of Transportation and the Cuban Civil Aviation Institute.
It allows for travelers who fit one of 12 categories laid out by the Treasury Department, including people visiting family members, practicing journalism, participating in athletic competitions, supporting the Cuban people or having business meetings. Carriers in the United States already have made it clear that they plan to apply for the new routes to and from Cuba, with JetBlue, United Airlines and American Airlines all saying they want in on the new option.
Do hope “Old Dudes” is one of the categories.
