O'Hare begins weekly nonstop flight to Cuba

O'Hare begins weekly nonstop flight to Cuba
CHICAGO

Officials say O'Hare International Airport has started to offer nonstop
charter service between Chicago and Havana, Cuba.

The Chicago Department of Aviation says C&T Charters will fly once from
O'Hare to Havana every Friday. O'Hare will have one weekly arrival from
Cuba as well.

Earlier this year, U.S. government officials gave O'Hare and seven other
airports permission for flights to Cuba as part of a larger effort to
reach out to the island nation.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says in a statement that flights to Havana
further the city's mission to become more competitive globally.
