Jetblue Airways Flight 387 is a notable historic flight on August 31, 2016 to be the first U.S. to Cuba flight since 1961.[1]. The flight used an A320 and left Fort Lauderdale, Florida and landed in Santa Clara, Cuba at 11am.[2]. The significance of the flight is related to the thawing of U.S.-Cuba relations initiated by U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban dictator Raul Castro in a historic agreement that opened up a trade route that has been closed since 1961.[3][4]
