Air Canada Halts Cuba Services Amid Fuel Shortage, 3,000 Customers Affected

• Air Canada has suspended all services to Cuba due to an ongoing aviation fuel shortage on the island.
• The airline will operate empty flights to Cuba to pick up approximately 3,000 customers currently at their destinations and return them home.
• The decision follows government advisories (NOTAMs) indicating unreliability of fuel supply, with commercial availability projected to cease by February 10.
• Air Canada Vacations is offering full refunds to customers whose flights were cancelled and providing local support for those currently in Cuba.
• The airline operates 16 weekly flights to four Cuban destinations from Toronto and Montreal, with a tentative restart for Varadero and Cayo Coco on May 1.
