Airlines suspending their flights to Cuba is a huge hit to the Cuban tourism industry, which is Cuba's biggest source of income.
The Biden administration is continuing Trump's course of reversing US-Cuba normalization and tightening the economic stranglehold of the island.
Just in: @JetBlue -the company that flew the first direct commercial flight to Cuba during the thaw in relations- has suspended flights to the island due to “changes to the regulatory landscape and restrictions on our customers’ ability to enter Cuba.”
