SEATTLE — Alaska Airlines says it will stop flying to Havana after demand dropped and the Trump administration imposed new restrictions on travel to Cuba. Last week, the Trump administration put into effect rules that ended an allowance for “people-to-people” or individual travel to Cuba. Alaska began flying to Havana in January, but it says it was considering pulling out even before last week’s change in travel rules. Caribbean hurricanes and the impending change in travel rules both contributed to lower bookings, she said. U.S. airlines were eager to fly to Cuba last year after the Obama administration eased longtime limits on travel between the two countries.
