True statement. Our airline did subservice for them back in 2000 and 2001 during the christmas/new years period

Gotcha... I was under the impression that it was still happening.

Still is as far as I'm concerned. Other carriers provide supplemental lift for CAl during the X-mas season.

I have flown over Cuba and landed there plenty of times, never had a problem. You need an overflight to fly over the island, but you can fly on their airspace without. The charts do mentioned that their airspace only reaches fl410, i would be almost curious to see what would happen flying over at fl450 without a permit....

Im not sure about CAL, but Eagle does a lot of MIA-Cuba charters in the ATR. I dont know who the pax are for these flights, but its a common occurence to do a Cuba out-and-back from our MIA base.

All the major U.S. Airlines flying to Central America/South America over-fly Cuba. American, Delta, US Air, Northwest and others can be heard on the frequency when I am in HAV Airspace. I've also heard Cubana flying over Florida on their way to Toronto.

I've heard them on many occasions on the way to SA.
