Mubadala considering Cuban airport investment with Russia

Russia’s trade and industry minister Denis Manturov identified Mubadala as a prospective partner in the $200 million project.

"We're actively engaged in talks about that matter," he said. Manturov said that Russia and other nations were aware of the need to modernise Cuba’s transport infrastructure.
"There is a lack of international airports, and they're looking to develop one of the former military bases into a major air hub serving Latin America," he said.
Flightglobal reported in 2013 that Cuban authorities had tentatively selected an airfield in San Antonio de los Banos, near Havana, as capable of handling long-haul passenger and freighter aircraft and supporting the plans of Cubana, the national carrier.
