Cuban families on both sides of the Florida Straight are uneasy about the drastic prohibition issued by the Trump administration.
The White House, under the grip of the most deceitful advice of Cuban extremists located in the northern nation, ordered the end of commercial and Charter flights to Cuban airports, with the exception of José Martí Airport in Havana.
The ultimatum against charter flights recently became effective, with the subsequent concentration of flights to Havana, since Cubans residing in the United States insist on traveling to their homeland to see their relatives.

A possible solution is provided by the Caribbean company Bahamasair, whose aircraft will arrive this month at the airports of Holguín and Villa Clara, in the east and center of Cuba, with a stop in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas.
