On 06 March 2005 at 06:45 a.m. (Greenwich mean time), Air Transat Flight 961, left Varadero, Cuba, for Québec, Quebec, and encountered stability problems 17 minutes after take-off. The aircraft, an Airbus A310, was cleared to a lower altitude and stabilized. Because the company had maintenance facilities in Varadero, the crew requested a return to that locale and successfully landed. Upon landing, it was observed that the rudder had separated from the aircraft. It had 262 passengers and 9 crew members on board.
