Six airlines have now been given approval to launch commercial air services from the U.S. to Cuba for the first time in more than five decades.

 

美国6家航空公司近50多年来首次获批开通美国直飞古巴的商业航班。

 

A total of 155 round-trip flights will take place a week.

 

Most of the airlines are expected to begin their services this fall and early winter.

 

They will fly from 5 different US cities to 10 different Cuban cities.

 

Galo Beltran is the manager for American Airlines in Cuba.

 

"We're getting ready of course to transition from charter flights to scheduled service, we've been working very hard in order to make this a reality in the very near future."
