What types of arrangements may airlines enter into with a Cuban national (individual or entity) to facilitate the provision of carrier services between the United States and Cuba?
OFAC's answer
The entry into blocked space, code-sharing, or leasing agreements to facilitate the provision of carrier services by air is authorized. For a complete description of what the OFAC general license authorizes and the restrictions that apply, see 31 [CFR § 515.572(a)(2)(ii)](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-V/part-515/subpart-E/section-515.572). Transactions, including the remittance of payments, ordinarily incident to such arrangements are also authorized (see [31 CFR § 515.421](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-V/part-515/subpart-D/section-515.421)).Further, OFAC amended this general license to exclude from the authorization lodging, paying for lodging, or making any reservation for or on behalf of a third party to lodge, at any property in Cuba on the State Department’s Cuba Prohibited Accommodations List to the extent prohibited by 31 CFR § 515.210. For a complete description of the scope of this prohibition, see [31 CFR § 515.210](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-31/subtitle-B/chapter-V/part-515/subpart-B/section-515.210). Certain transactions ordinarily incident to such arrangements are also authorized (see 31 CFR § 515.421 for additional information and restrictions).
