It was purchased by Cuba Aeropostal in August 1955, and transfered to Expreso Aereo in 1960 after the nationalization of all the Cuban airlines. It was seized in Miami, Florida, under a warrant involving a claim by a US company against the Cuban government. After three owners in the United States, it went to Aguilas Venezolanas as YV-C-BNC in 1962, later that year to Transportes Aereos CA, then withdrawn from use, and broken up, in 1966.
