Thats getting to Cuba from Europe. I do believe that the Cubana fleet have a problem with their AOC because of serious maintenance issues. The Cuban owned aircraft flying in Cuba are best described as junk. I got to see an Antonov used to ferry people around Cuba and I'm not an engineer but as a pilot, I'd be reluctant to fly the aircraft over water or terrain where an emergency landing would be tricky. It was obvious from a cursory inspection that the aircraft was ready for the scrap heap. Other Cuban owned aircraft are in similar condition.
