Aerocubana is the flag carrier of Cuba. The airline's logo is a stylized rendition of a Cuban trogon, the country's national bird.

Aerocubana was founded in 1949 with a fleet of DC-3s and Lockheed Constellations. By the late 1950s the airline has grown to a sizable network connecting Latin America, North America, and Europe. After the Cuban revolution in 1959, the airline was restructured under government control, and in 1961 with the US embargo of Cuba they were forced to end all services to the United States as well as cancel all orders for western aircraft. Since then, Soviet and Russian built aircraft have been the backbone of the airline's fleet. Multiple times since the embargo some western aircraft have been leased from various airlines on a temporary basis, although there are none currently.

China Central Airlines was founded in 1989 after the split of CALA into Yangtze Airlines and China Capital as the first privately owned airline in China. The airline purchased most of the Soviet built aircraft that Yangtze and CCA didn't want, including taking over CALA orders for Tu-204s and Il-86s. However, growth was slow for China Central because of pressure on regulatory officials from Yangtze and CCA to stop the airline from ordering new planes and opening new routes. Finally in the early 1990s after numerous requests from China Central, the officials caved and have allowed the airline to grow to it's current status as the third largest carrier in China.
