MIAMI, Fla. – Havana’s José Martà International Airport reopened Sunday to all commercial flights more than seven months after it closed due to COVID-19.
Local 10′s Hatzel Vela said he was receiving reports of long lines at Miami International Airport for flights leaving to Cuba on Sunday.
In early October, Cuba relaxed coronavirus restrictions in hopes of boosting its economy, allowing shops and government offices to reopen and welcoming locals and tourists at airports across the island except in Havana, according to the Associated Press. The pandemic had frozen Cuba’s critical $3 billion tourism industry since March, when the first coronavirus cases were reported.
