Atlanta-based Delta already flies daily from Atlanta to Havana. Last year, the airline told the DOT it wants to scale back its New York-Havana flights to once a week and add a second daily flight from Miami to Havana.

Delta also told the DOT that adding an evening departure from Miami to Havana would allow it to reschedule Atlanta passengers who miss flights and still get them to their destinations the same day.

The DOT last week proposed granting the additional Miami-Havana flying to Delta, and also tentatively awarded additional Havana flying rights for JetBlue, American, Southwest and United. The DOT invited public comment on its tentative decision before issuing a final decision.
