American, JetBlue, Southwest, Want Delta’s Cuba Route

Three U.S. airlines – American, JetBlue, and Southwest – are bidding to take over a route to Cuba that’s being abandoned by Delta Air Lines Inc.

In May, Delta said it will terminate its Saturday service to Havana, Cuba, from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Sept. 1. Delta had said back in December that it would dramatically reduce flights to Cuba from JFK International, just over a year after launching them. Delta cited U.S. government policies that have resulted in lower demand for travel to Cuba from areas outside of South Florida.
