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.
