Fleet
Aerogaviota (IATA: KG, ICAO: GTV) is Cuba's regional airline, established in 1994 and headquartered at José Martí International Airport in Havana. As a state-owned carrier, it operates scheduled and charter services connecting the island's domestic network and selected regional destinations.
The airline's operational focus centers on serving routes where larger aircraft are uneconomical, making it essential infrastructure for linking provincial cities and remote areas. Aerogaviota maintains a presence in Cuban aviation through consistent domestic scheduling and regional expansion where demand permits.
The fleet consists of reliable regional turboprops and utility helicopters suited to Cuba's infrastructure constraints. This mix of ATR 42 twin-engines, Antonov An-26 cargo transports, and Mil Mi-8 helicopters enables flexible operations across unprepared airfields and challenging terrain, ensuring connectivity where commercial competition is limited.
