History
editIn 2020, GlobalX completed a merger & spin-out with Canada Jetlines, an ultra low-cost airline headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario.[4] In late 2020, GlobalX formed CubaX, a tour operator that provides weekly non-stop flights from Miami to Havana, Cuba. In 2021, CubaX began operating daily charter flights using GlobalX aircraft.[5] As demand increases, the airline will add more routes in partnership with large tour operators in other key markets.
