— The energy crisis in Cuba has reached a critical level that is now directly affecting civil aviation.
An official aeronautical notice (NOTAM) from José Martí International Airport in Havana confirms that the terminal is out of Jet A-1 fuel, which is standardly used by commercial aircraft.
The NOTAM, identified as A0356/26 and classified as international, explicitly states: “JET A-1 FUEL NOT AVBL” (no Jet A-1 fuel available).
These types of official notices are issued to alert pilots, airlines, and air operators about critical operational conditions.
The absence of Jet A-1 forces airlines to bring in additional fuel from their departure airports, make technical stops in third countries to refuel, or, directly, cancel flights.
An international airport without fuel for weeks is an exceptional and very uncommon situation in countries with functioning economies.
While the regime insists on blaming external factors, the facts demonstrate a deep crisis that is already isolating Cuba, even by air. »
