American Airlines has officially opened its first office in Havana, Cuba.
It comes months after the carrier restarted the first scheduled flights to Cuba in more than 50 years.
The airline is bullish on long term growth in the US-Cuba market despite new President Trump’s opposition to the easing of restrictions.
Trump has hinted he may yet ‘terminate’ the détente which was initiated by the Obama Administration.
"We cannot speculate about what the next (political) step will be, but I can assure you that we are moving our machine forward," Galo Beltran, Cuba manager for American Airlines, told the AP.
"You are a witness to the investment and how important Cuba is to American as a US entity doing business."
