American Airlines and its flights to Cuba

American Airlines maintains a constant presence in Cuba, being the commercial company that maintains the most operations with more than 80 flights. According to officials, it would also be willing to increase flights if demand increases, especially from Miami.

The reduction in flights of other companies such as JetBlue, United Airlines and Delta Airlines, announced in 2023, leaves American “on top” in flights to Cuba, apart from charters.

There is also concern about a possible increase in ticket prices to Cuba in the future, especially as the US is becoming their best business option.

In addition to Santa Clara and Havana, this North American airline has connections to Santiago de Cuba, Camagüey, Varadero and Holguín.
