LOS ANGELES -- A charter company has started offering non-stop flights
between Los Angeles and Havana after the Obama administration lifted
travel restrictions on Cuban-Americans.

Cuba Travel Services Inc. started running the weekly, five-hour flights
Tuesday.

General Manager Michael Zuccato says the Long Beach-based company began
the flights after the Obama administration eased restrictions on travel
to Cuba earlier this year.

Zuccato says the company started direct charter flights between Los
Angeles and Havana in 2000 but stopped when the Bush administration
tightened rules for travel in 2004.

Zuccato says it is the only flight offered between California and Cuba.
