American Airlines, JetBlue fight over plans to expand service to Cuba - Dallas Business Journal

, but that request came before Covid-19 and the implementation of travel restrictions.

JetBlue argues that its request should be favored over American’s in order to promote competition. In addition to American’s six Miami-Havana flights, Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines operate a combined five flights between South Florida and Havana. “DOT’s logic that American has too many Miami-Havana frequencies was compelling when American had four flights,” JetBlue said, “and is even more compelling now that American has six flights, is seeking to add a seventh and eighth flight, and now holds broad flexibility to downgauge all potential eight flights to small regional aircraft, an ability it did not have when DOT initially made its first Havana frequency awards.

“JetBlue rehashes its well-worn complaint about a so-called ‘competitive disadvantage’ that is of its own making,” American said in its letter.
