JetBlue Flight 387 from Fort Lauderdale, Cuba was completed Wednesday, the first commercial U.S. to Cuba flight

JetBlue Flight 387 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Santa Clara, Cuba was completed in 51 minutes Wednesday, the first commercial U.S. to Cuba flight in more than five decades.

The flight marks a major step in the ongoing normalization of relations between the two countries, first announced by Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro in late 2014.

"The last time there were scheduled flights to Cuba, if you wanted to buy a ticket, you had to go to a ticket office. You'd fly to Cuba on a propeller plane," said JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes. "So it just shows how in 55 years things have changed."
