Flights to Cuba

What is a Cuba Carrier Service Provider?

A Carrier Service Provider, sometimes referred to as a Charter Service Provider, is an OFAC approved and licensed corporation that owns or charters airplanes for flights to Cuba. So, the Carrier Service Provider term is the official government term for companies that provide charter flights to Cuba. Usually, a licensed Carrier Service Provider will work with Travel Service Providers (aka Cuba travel agents) to book Cuba flights since most travelers to Cuba do not book flights directly with Cuba air charter companies.

I want to be a licensed Carrier Service Provider. How to I apply?

If you want to offer flights to Cuba on your planes or leased planes, you can apply for an OFAC Carrier Service Provider license.

If you can book your own flights to Cuba or want to research the flight schedules offered by Carrier Service Providers, we have put together a Charter Flights to Cuba page.

Note: United Caribbean Lines, created by cruise line expert Bruce Nierenberg, has intentions to launch a Florida to Cuba ferry service if he is approved for a Carrier Service Provider license.
