Got rid of "under Marxist rule" as neither Castro nor the regime were Marxist immediately after the Revolution. Also rephrased "had to stop" to "stopped". Was a bit POV. Dafyddyoung 10:03, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 28 March 2005 Incident

Does anybody have a source about the incident that allegedly happened on 28 March 2005, where "a Cubana A320 flying between Cuba and Canada lost its tail, but the plane was able to make a safe emergency landing in an American airport"?

On 05 March 2005, Air Transat flight 961 between Varadero, Cuba and Quebec City, Canada had the majority of the rudder surface detach during flight. The aircraft returned to Varadero and landed without incident. The incident aircraft was an Airbus A310. I couldn't find any news reports about this Cubana A320, and this Air Transat incident happened within a relatively close timeframe, involving a flight between Cuba and Canada.

There is some information, including pictures... here and here. --Ncdoyle 15:32, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cubana de Aviación Ownership

The Cuban government are the owners of Cubana de Aviacion.

[edit] Accidents of 40 years ago needed?

instead of writting more about the airline history why copy and paste minor accidents that occur 40 years ago. is none sense. Bill. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.8.137.254 (talk • contribs) 22:02, 25 August 2006.

While Wikipedia does not aim to be a collection of indiscriminate information, accidents with fatalities or substantial damage to an aircraft are usually considered notable. This is a broad subject in Wikipedia, see for instance Category:Aviation accidents and incidents and subcategories. I would suggest making a special entry with a List of Cubana de Aviación accidents and incidents if the present entry is too long. --Oden 20:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
