Private jet travel to Cuba was plunging even before the new restrictions
Share to twitterIt doesn’t look like new travel restrictions to Cuba will have much impact on private jet travel, mainly because the market seems to have been in a free fall that started shortly after the initial hype that surrounded the easing of access to the island., an aviation research firm shows that after a 26% drop in flights from 2017 to 2018, so far this year flights by private aircraft registered in the U.S. had fallen another 18% in the first four months.
At the time, AIN reported the new rule “removes certain financing restrictions for many authorized exports, eases limits on certain authorized transactions and further relaxes restrictions on exports and reexports of items necessary for safety of civil aviation, among other changes.” Canada was a distant second with just 14 flights by its private jets visiting Cuba this year, Spain was third with two flights and no other country had more than a single flight by private aircraft on their registry, although there were 69 flights from countries that were not disclosed.
