Cuban aviation officials have issued a stark warning to airlines, indicating a severe lack of fuel for refueling aircraft on the island. This critical energy rationing is a direct consequence of the Donald Trump administration's efforts to cut off Cuba from its primary fuel resources, a commercial pilot confirmed on Monday.
A notice was reportedly dispatched to aviation companies and personnel on Sunday, according to the pilot, who spoke anonymously due to not being authorized to comment publicly. While refueling difficulties have occurred previously, the pilot noted that an official announcement of this magnitude is extraordinary, even for a nation accustomed to persistent challenges.
