Daily charter flights to Cuba still on schedule

Daily charter flights to Cuba still on schedule

Miami-based air charter company owner Eddie Levy said that his daily
flight from Miami to Havana went off without a hitch Tuesday morning.

''We had a flight this morning, and it went perfectly normal,'' said
Levy, owner of Xael Charters. ``We called Cuba, and everything was
normal at the airport in Havana.''

Levy, like other Miami-based air charter operators, said he didn't
anticipate any sudden changes to his business.

Despite a call from CNN trying to get reporters into Cuba, it was normal
operations for Cuban air charter company owner Tessie Aral Tuesday morning.

Aral owns Miami-based ABC Charters, which now runs four flights a week
between Miami and Havana, mostly for people visiting family. Tuesday
morning, she had a few calls from people worried about travel. But she
expects little immediate change.

''The embargo will stay on,'' said Aral, who added the U.S. government
still prohibits most travel to the island. ``Tourism still can't go''.
