The U.S. government has given permission to six airlines to go ahead and start service to secondary cities in Cuba, but the OK to fly to Havana is still on hold till later this year. The new treaty between the U.S. and Cuba allows U.S. airlines to ultimately fly up to 110 flights daily to the island — 20 to Havana and 10 to each of nine other international airports. The Havana routes are most prized, so for most of the routes awarded this week, the airlines each got what they asked for.
