Cubana de Aviación S.A., commonly known as Cubana, is Cuba’s flag carrier as well as the country’s largest airline. It was founded in 1929, becoming one of the earliest airlines to emerge in Latin America. Its main base is located at Jose Marti International Airport, Havana.
Originally a subsidiary of Pan American World Airways and later a private company owned by Cuban investors, Cubana has been wholly owned by the Cuban government since 1959 and celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2009.
