Two migrants from Cuba landed at Key West International Airport in Florida via a motorized hang glider, officials say
Two migrants from Cuba landed at Key West International Airport in Florida on Saturday via a motorized hang glider, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. The pair landed at about 10:30 a.m. local time, and were not seriously injured, the sheriff’s office announced on its website. Both men were turned over to the custody of the US Border Patrol.
“There were no interruptions in service and operations continue as normal,” Richard Strickland, director of airports at Key West International Airport, said in a statement. Florida has experienced an influx of migrants from Cuba in the past months, many of them making treacherous journeys by sea. In January, the Coast Guard returned 273 migrants off the Florida coast to Cuba.
