Cubana

Cubana does not show on the LGW timetable so it would appear they have discontinued there flights, there has been no Cubana arrivals at LGW for a few weeks now but I am surprised they cut the flights so suddenly as I am sure alot of independant tour operators would have been put out as alot use this flight.

I am sure the demand is there as I have several friends who go to Cuba twice a year but I have heard the onboard service had alot to be desired plus the use of older Russian aircraft did not help.

I wonder if BA would reconsider reopening LGW to HAV as it would be a good move on there part even though VS offer flights Cuba has consistently held its own with a growing marekt, BA could even extend the flight to Belize as I am sure there would be ample belly cargo from there to support such flights.
