Cubana de Aviación SA announced the cancellation of flights CU360/CU361, scheduled for April 23 and 24, 2024. This decision is due to the refusal of aviation fuel supply companies in the Republic of Argentina to provide service to the airline, invoking the provisions of the United States blockade measures against Cuba.

Furthermore, this refusal has been extended to other airlines contracted by Cubana de Aviación, in order to provide due protection and transfer the affected passengers. This has prevented the airline from fulfilling the commitments made to passengers.

Cubana de Aviación has declared that the actions emanating from Argentine suppliers are beyond any decision of the airline.

Below, we reproduce the full text of Cubana de Aviación:

Official Statement of Cubana de Aviación, S.A.

Given the abrupt refusal of aviation fuel supply companies in the Republic of Argentina, to provide service to the Cubana de Aviación SA airline and its flights authorized by the Argentine National Civil Aviation Administration, invoking the provisions of the aviation blockade measures, United States against Cuba, it is reported that Cubana de Aviación has been forced to cancel flights CU360/CU361 dated April 23 and 24, 2024.

In the same way, this refusal has been extended to other airlines contracted by Cubana de Aviación, in order to provide due protection and transfer the affected passengers, thereby preventing compliance with the commitments assumed by the airline towards them.
