Cubana de Aviacion is one of the very few carriers outside Russia to fly a fleet almost completely made by Russian-built aircraft (Ilyushin Il-96, Tupolev Th-2’4 and Tu-158). Its network spans the Caribbean, Central and Latin America, Canada and Europe (Madrid and Paris). Flagship service to Moscow was stopped a few years ago and never resumed. It offers a basic Business Class service at Havana Josè Martì airport (dedicated check-in desks and lounge access) and onboard its Il-96 and Tu-204 (extra-legroom, enhanced catering, vanity kit but no inflight entertainment nor lie-flat seats) (Photo Wikimedia Commons / Pedro Aragao)
