The ATR42-500, a regional turboprop aircraft introduced in the early 1990s, was designed for short to medium-haul flights with a focus on efficiency and operational flexibility. Cubana, known for its rich heritage and service across the Caribbean and Latin America, adopted the ATR42-500 to enhance its regional connectivity and provide reliable service to smaller airports with shorter runways.
The ATR42-500 is recognized for its reliability and performance in challenging operating environments.
