Plan land in Cuba.
Washington - QNA
The first commercial passenger flight between the US and Cuba in more than 50 years landed in the Cuban city of Santa Clara on Wednesday.
The scheduled flight from the carrier Jet Blue left Fort Lauderdale in Florida at 9:50 am (1350 GMT) landed in Cuba just over an hour later. In the last two years the administration of US President Barack Obama has increasingly relaxed decades-old prohibitions on commerce and travel with Cuba, with both nations reopening their respective embassies.
The new direct flights between the countries will a boon to tourists, as until recently only expensive charter flights or those requiring connections were available.
