古巴计划推出到美国新航线

　　HAVANA, July 3 (Xinhua) -- A new air route to connect Cienfuegos, a southern Cuban city, with Miami in the U.S. state of Florida, via Grand Cayman will be launched later this year, a local official said Wednesday.

　　The move is intended to promote tourism, said Boris Suarez, the director of the Jaime Gonzalez International Airport in Cienfuegos, the Cuban city about 250 kilometers from Havana, the Cuban national capital.

　　The airport in Cienfuegos has been receiving five direct flights a week from Miami, home to a large Cuban expatriate population, according to Suarez. The airport also provides temporary air flight services to the Canadian cities of Toronto and Montreal from December to March, a high tourism season.
