Comments for Guantánamo, Cuba

Reply to @david:The Cuban gov comunist oficial newspaper "Granma"

Thanks for the information. Google Maps still shows this as "Punta de Maisi" airport. Is there an official source where we can confirm the other name?

The airport oficial name is " ALFREDO NOA DIAZ".[IATA CODE:UMA/ICAO CODE:MUMA].Inagurated by Fidel Castro on July-10-1970.The operation of this small airport is by AN-2 three times x week from Baracoa,Guantanamo[BCA/MUBA].pls UPDATE your info.

While this former airfield is in Cuba, it's part of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station, which is under U.S. control.

Although this base is located in Cuba, it's under American control due to a long-term lease signed -- its the U.S.'s oldest overseas base, and the only one in a hostile country. It has received a lot of news coverage recently because of its use as a prison camp during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
