JetBlue Airways Corporation JBLUrecently announced the expansion of its existing Mexico City and Havana service from its northeast and south Florida focus cities.

The carrier will initiate operations connecting Havana’s Jose Marti International Airport with Boston’s Logan International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

Flights between Boston and Havana will be offered on Saturdays, beginning Nov 10, 2018 while the same between Fort Lauderdale and the Cuban capital will be available thrice daily from Sunday to Friday, starting Nov 11. Notably, JetBlue had commenced US-Cuba service a couple of years ago in 2016.
