The government of Cuba issued an official communication to international airlines operating in the country, warning that starting this Monday, the island will run out of fuel for commercial aviation. According to the report accessed by the Argentine News Agency, the measure was confirmed by industry sources and international agencies, which further complicates Cuba's connectivity amid an economic crisis. This situation forces airlines to reconfigure their operations to avoid leaving planes stranded on Cuban soil. While the affected airlines, mainly from the United States, Spain, Panama, and Mexico, have not officially announced their contingency plans, it is expected that they will resort to technical stops.
