The new travel restriction measures to nine airports in Cuba, this time to charter flights, announced last Friday by the Trump administration, and which will take effect on March 10, has caused a boom in ticket sales, breaking records for some agencies of that nation.

This is what Giraldo Acosta, owner of the Cubamax company, told him, that in his 20 years of existence he had 500, as the record number of tickets sold to Cuba.

This Saturday, just a few hours after the ban was announced, Acosta himself was surprised by the reaction of Florida travelers, who made the agency have a new record: 900 tickets sold to fly to the Caribbean island.

Similarly, other US agencies that manage ticket offices to travel to the Cuban provinces, which will now be outside the destinations of the charters, such as Viva Travel and Xael Charters, confirmed a similar picture.

Perhaps this reaction was to be expected, because after March 10 it will be more cumbersome and more expensive for those who reside in South Florida to visit their relatives in Cuba.

The measure, announced last Friday 10, not only eliminates charter flights within the country, but also regulates the annual number of them, which can be made from the United States.

"There are 3,600 a year, according to the regulations," said Yuniel Alonso, Director of Operations of Aerocuba, one of four charters operating from South Florida.

"When you get the bill, there are about nine daily flights to Havana that should satisfy the flow of people throughout Cuba. Havana will be just the gateway. Those who need to go to Guantanamo will also have to compete for a seat in one of those nine flights with the same one that goes to the capital. It's crazy, ”concluded Alonso.
