But the easing of rules in recent years facilitates bringing in parts, mechanics, or other supplies to support aircraft that encounter AOG situations in Cuba, said Eric Norber, founder of Cuba Handling. When the U.S. opened the door to travel to Cuba, the ability to repair aircraft in country was a chief concern. \u201cThere is not a lot of local mechanics or repair shops available in Cuba,\u201d said Norber. \u201cBut, knowing that, Cuban authorities put in place in a policy that opens the door for whatever support you need you can bring in. It\u2019s just at the expense of the operator.\u201d With the policy changes, he added, \u201cThere is no customs process. There\u2019s no immigration for mechanics. It is really open access for the support or repair of any AOG aircraft in Cuba.\u201d On the U.S. side, the removal of Cuba from the list of nations with certain export bans in 2016 eased the ability to bring in parts and equipment necessary for support. Cuba Cuba Handling, which has specialized in Cuban operations handling for more than 27 years, has assisted aircraft operators with issues as small as tire changes and to as large as an engine swap, he said, adding the latter being on an airline airframe. All were completed on the ramp in Cuba by U.S. mechanics. Norber cautioned that travel logistics, such as hotels and transportation, must be arranged through a handling company. Some MRO shops from around the world have held discussions with the Cuban government over the possibility of opening a facility there,"}
