I don't believe that this statement is true. I don't suppose you have a reference for it?

IATA publishes a manual of interline ticketing agreements, called MITA, and a data feed of bilateral interline e-ticketing agreements, the BIETA table: http://www.iata.org/ps/publications/mita.htm. We subscribe to both.

I can say for certain that according to the e-ticketing table, for example, no US airline has interline e-ticketing agreements with Cubana. Actually, the list of interline partners for Cubana is quite short: only 25 of the >200 IATA members are on the list.
