But now JetBlue says it is reducing its service to Cuba, becoming the second U.S. carrier to cut back. In December, American Airlines said it would drop one of the two daily flights between Miami and the cities of Holguin, Santa Clara and Varadero. As of May 3, New York-based JetBlue will fly aircraft with fewer seats to Havana, Santa Clara, Camaguey and Holguin. “It’s common practice to adjust schedules and … routes based on customer preferences, especially routes that are new to the network,” said JetBlue spokesman Philip Stewart. Meanwhile, Alaska Airlines, which flies to Cuba from Los Angeles, said it has not cut capacity or routes to Cuba.
