handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch19744 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-10429-10054. SUBLCT: Flight .from Mexico City to Havana on 22 November 1963 REFERENCE: 1. What is the total CIA information on the two flights from Mexico City. to Havana? 2. What .was done at the time to develop further information on this matter? 3. Can further information be acquired on this matter now? FINDINGS: 1. The Mexico Station records confirm only one flight from Mexico City to Havana on 22 November 1963.. This was the regularly scheduled Cubana Airlines flight. There were two reports of small aircraft flights (one a twin engine flight to Mexico City connecting with Cubana for onward transportation to Havana of a mysterious passenger;.and the other a flight allegedly from Dallas, Tijuana, and Mexico City to Havana with two gang- land type passengers.) Beyond the original reports (from sources of undetermined reliability) there was nothing in the Mexico Station records to substantiate that these.flights occurred. 2. Facts substantiated by Mexico Station records: On 22 November 1963 a Cubana Airlines plane from Havana arrived at the Mexico City International airport at 1620 hours (Mexico City time) and departed on a return flight to Havana between 1940 and 2035 hours (Mexico City time) the same day. .It was on the ground in Mexico City about 4 hours which would be considered normal for servicing for a turnaround flight carrying passengers both ways. .This information was obtained from sensitive reliable sources in the process of routine operating procedures on 22 November .1963. 1/ 3. Report.not substantiated by Mexico Station records: On 30 November 1963 CIA Headquarters cabled Mexico City that a report had been received that the 22 November 1963 Cubana departure had been delayed five hours from 1700 to.2200 hours awaiting an important passengerawho arrived at the Mexico City airport in a private twin motor aircraft at 2130 hours Mexico time. Passenger transferred directly.to Cubana plane without going through customs or immigration and travelled in pilot's.cabin to Havana. 2/ This information was passed to the Mexican officials on 2 December 1963 for investigatioi. ihere is no record of a reply. We know from independent information in paragraph two above that some parts of this report are in error. The Cubana flight was not delayed for five hours. It had departed .for Havana from Mexico City between 1640 and 2035 hours which would be at least an hour before the twin motor aircraft was alleged to have arrived in Mexico City. The source's name is on the.manifest as a passenger from Mexico City to Havana but the time supplied by him does not agree with.other information considered reliable.
