Regular Commercial Flights to Resume US and Cuba

The US and Cuba have reached an understanding on resuming regular commercial flights between the two countries.

Unnamed officials in Cuba and the US said an announcement was imminent.

It is unclear when the flights would start because negotiations between the Cuban government and the US airlines could take months.

The move is a significant step nearly a year after the former Cold War enemies began restoring diplomatic relations.

The US reopened its embassy in Havana in August after a 54-year absence.
