More Canadian airlines to start service to Cuba

Canadian Press

OTTAWA — Canada and Cuba have reached a deal to allow more airlines to operate flights between the two countries.

Transport Minister John Baird announced Sunday that two additional Canadian airlines, WestJet (TSX:WJA) and Sunwing, will be allowed to offer flights to Cuba.

Baird also announced that WestJet is being allowed to run a service between Canada and Trinidad and Tobago.

The government says since 2006, it has negotiated open, new or expanded air service agreements with nearly 50 countries.
