Cuba extends Jet A‑1 shortage warnings at 10 airports to April 4, forcing cancellations

Cuba has extended jet‑fuel shortage warnings at 10 airports through April 4 as supply constraints tied to U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan oil shipments persist. The continued shortfall is prompting airlines to cancel or alter services to the island, worsening operational disruption.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

10 airports are under jet‑fuel shortage warnings through April 4, producing airline cancellations and schedule disruption that directly affect connectivity and operations.
The shortage is driven by constrained imports linked to U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan oil shipments, continuing the supply squeeze documented earlier in the NOTAM suspension and sanctions coverage (see NOTAM that halted Jet A‑1 uplift and sanctions-driven fuel constraints).
Carriers have already adjusted operations, including outbound‑only repatriation and service suspensions, illustrating how fuel shortages force routing, tanker fuel and contingency planning (see outbound‑only repatriation flights).
