This past May, the Federal Aviation Administration gave Cuban dictatorship officials tours of U.S. airports, according to leaked documents from Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The revelation comes on the heels of the controversy caused by the TSA at Miami International Airport giving Cuban officials tours of secure areas of the airport.
Via Diario de Cuba (my translation):
While echoes of the controversial visit by Cuban government officials to Miami airport are still resonating, it has come to light that another delegation toured U.S. airports in May, invited by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
According to Martí Noticias, which reported having access to internal documents from the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX), the visit was confirmed by the FAA, but they declined to provide details about the Cuban officials’ itinerary.
“The meeting took place in May, but you’ll have to contact Cuban authorities to obtain information about their itineraries,” the FAA stated in a brief communication.
The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to the media’s request for comments.
Based on the obtained documents, the FAA invited officials from the Cuban regime to the Miami Route Air Traffic Control Center in Florida as part of the “Miami/Havana and Houston/Havana Operation Agreement.”
In an official note sent to the U.S. Embassy in Havana, MINREX stated that during the meeting, a “Letter of Agreements” on air traffic control between the FAA and the Cuban Institute of Civil Aeronautics (IACC) would be signed.
According to U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose conversations between the two countries, the invitation to the Cubans aimed to “discuss the continuous safe and efficient movement of aircraft” between the two American terminals and Cuba.
A delegation of 15 U.S. officials, including executives from Miami and Houston airports responsible for Airspace Support and Procedures, as well as representatives from the FAA’s Western Hemisphere Office and International Affairs Office, welcomed the Cubans, as Martí Noticias learned from U.S. officials.
Once again we see the Biden administration opening the door to sworn enemies of the United States. While the Cuban officials were given the red carpet treatment, no U.S. official would ever be allowed to tour or even get close to sensitive or secure areas in communist Cuba.
This policy of appeasement continues the legacy of Obama’s failed Cuba policy, where the Castro dictatorship demands unilateral concessions and the U.S. happily surrenders.
Yet one more reason why no Cuban should support Dems. But yes, I know Cubanoids will continue being what they are and acting accordingly. Unfortunately, one can’t make people decent and dignified.
