	Cubana de Aviación - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cubana's Soviet-built aircraft began to suffer from old age, and the fact that spare parts for those planes were hard to find, and partly because of that it suffered a series of fatal accidents during the 1990s.
		Cubana is expected to receive 2 Ilyushin Il-96-300 aircraft in 2005 to replace the aging Ilyushin 62s in their fleet.
		Cubana is the only known major Latin American airline to use Russian built airplanes(in the days of Cold war Aeronica used the planes), and it is the only Latin American airline with an established route to Moscow.

		In 1935 the Lockheed Electra aircraft was incorporated to the fleet, allowing Cubana to extend its itineraries to nearly the whole island, and thus raising the prestige of the company.
		In this same year, Cubana added to its fleet the best airplane yet constructed, the legendary Douglas DC-3, whose acquisition was a milestone in the airline´s development.
		The fleet, backbone of the airline, is enlarged and renovated; wide-bodied airplanes like the DC-10 carry the colors of its flag to other continents, aircrafts as modern as the Airbus A320 have recently been added to it to accept the challenge of the future.

	Passenger Opinions about Cubana Airlines
		I would never in a million years recommend this airline, we went with them because they were cheaper than the others but the saving that we made was not worth it in the long run.
		Flew with Cubana from Gatwick to Holguin 25.05.05.
		Cubana seemed incapable of organising an alternative and the party I was travelling with did not leave Cuba until the early hours of Tuesday morning, arriving home via Paris at 6pm on Tuesday evening.

		The airline didn't explain the reason or why Iberia staff were suggesting that we all catch a Cubana airline direct flight to Havana in two hours' time.
		Cubana airlines was ranked lowest in a poll of 50 airlines for reliability in the Guardian and Observer travel awards in 1999.
		If the British, the Spanish and other governments decide to authorise Cubana to fly to their countries, it isn't the business of any other airline to question their decisions." But it might be the business of passengers who have a vested interest in their own safety to be made aware of its reliability record.

		Cubana’s long distance international flights are, for the most part, flown on Airbus aircraft.
		Just as Cubana’s domestic and short haul flights were to be avoided throughout the 1990s, the same could be said of Russia’s domestic airlines.
		Presumably, Russian airlines no long allow its pilots to offer the captain’s seat to children, as was the case in 1994, where a pilot allowed his children to fly a passenger flight en route from China to Moscow while he left the cockpit.

	Cubana bomb tragedy - New focus on USA - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		The contradiction is associated with the protection afforded by two US administrations of two Cuban émigrés, who were the reported masterminds in the bombing of a Cubana passenger aircraft over Barbados airspace on October 6, 1976, resulting in the tragic and horrific deaths of all 73 people on board.
		Prior to the Cubana tragedy, Bosh and his "Commando of United Revolutionary Organisations (CORU), which was also directly implicated in the Cubana tragedy of 1976, had been involved with Chile's intelligence service, DINA, in the assassination of the Chilean ambassador to Washington, Orlando Letelier.
		At the time of the Cubana tragedy many controversial legal issues were raised about why the then Venezuela government felt that the captured bombing duo of Lozano and Lugo should face trial either in Trinidad and Tobago or Barbados.

		Cubana generally gets pretty bad recommendations domestically, but globally, is rated at the same quality level as Air Canada, Air France, American Airlines and other 3-Star airlines according to Skytrax which tracks airlines globally.
		The maintenance situation within the airline is such that as far as I know since last year the members of the US Interests Section in Havana avoid its domestic flights.
		Besides, in those days of complex route regulations, "Cubana" was growing so fast that two US airlines, out of business today, did all what they could to prevent the approval of Cuban flights between Havana and Los Angeles.

	Flight 482 Is Missing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Captain Armando Piedra, 40, pilot for Cubana airlines, was flying from Havana to the Cuban city of Cienfuegos eight months ago when rebels fighting for Fidel Castro popped up among the passengers, commandeered the plane, forced Piedra to head for Mexico.
		A fortnight ago it fell to Piedra, who is also a good amateur skindiver, to dive to the sunken hull of a Cubana airlines Viscount that crashed and killed 17 of 20 passengers when rebel hijackers tried to force it to land near Cuba's Nipe Bay (TIME, Nov. 10).
		He thus 1) deprived Cubana of nearly one-fourth of its planes, worth $1,160,000; 2) helped sever the government's air link to beleaguered Santiago, already virtually cut off by land; and 3) provided himself with the nucleus of an air transport force to service rebel columns marauding in Camagüey and Las Villas provinces.
