‘We just want to go home’: Canadians in Cuba wait for answers as airlines adjust flights
BNN Bloomberg
Canadian airlines have announced their contingency plans to and from Cuba as the island grapples with a temporary disruption to aviation fuel supplies.
Cuban officials said jet fuel will be unavailable at airports across the country starting Tuesday, disrupting airport operations and affecting both domestic and international carriers.
The fuel shortage comes amid ongoing supply challenges on the island and has prompted airlines to assess how best to continue services, reroute aircraft, and assist travellers already in Cuba.
