American Airlines is latest company sued for operating in expropriated property in Cuba
“What we seek to recover is the value of the airport times three,” said attorney Andrés Rivero, of Rivero Mestre LLP, who is handling the lawsuit. He estimates the current value of the airport at hundreds of millions of dollars, “approaching 1 billion,” he said. That means Regueiro could potentially receive up to $3 billion.Rivero said that there are more than 50 airlines operating at the airport and they have sent letters notifying the companies of their intent to sue.
Rivero Mestre has filed six other lawsuits on behalf of other plaintiffs against international companies such as Spanish hotel chains Meliá and Barceló, as well as Canadian hotel company Blue Diamond. An American Airlines spokesperson stated via email that airlines are exempted from Title III lawsuits.
"American Airlines' service to Cuba including José Martí International Airport in Havana is authorized by the U.S. government including the Department of Transportation and the US Office of Foreign Assets Control," an airline spokesperson said in an emailed statement."In addition, Title III specifically exempts lawful travel, which is what American provides. We’ll review this lawsuit in detail and vigorously defend our service to Cuba.
