BBC said:More than 100 people have died after a Boeing 737 airliner crashed near Cuba's main airport in Havana, the country's worst air disaster in decades.
Three women were pulled alive from the wreckage, but are said to be in a critical condition.
The plane, which was nearly 40 years old, was carrying 104 passengers and six crew members.
Cuban authorities have launched an investigation, and two days of national mourning have been declared.
The Boeing 737-201 crashed at 12:08 (16:08 GMT) on Friday, shortly after taking off from Havana on an internal flight to Holguin on the east of the island.
All six crew members on board were Mexican and the majority of the passengers were Cuban, with five foreigners reported to be among them.
