Cuba Airlines Face Fuel Crisis as Jet Fuel Supply Depletes
The energy crisis in Cuba has reached a critical point, impacting civil aviation as confirmed by an official aeronautical notice from José Martí International Airport in Havana. This notice explicitly states a lack of Jet A-1 fuel, essential for commercial aircraft, and is active for at least a full month. Consequently, airlines face increased costs and potential flight cancellations due to the inability to refuel domestically, jeopardizing crucial international connections. This situation highlights a broader logistical collapse and structural crisis within Cuba, exacerbated by disrupted external supplies and U.S. sanctions, further isolating the nation.
