On Tuesday and Wednesday, Cubana de Aviacion flights to Buenos Aires were canceled because fuel suppliers in Argentina refused to serve the airline.
The companies have invoked "provisions of the United States blockade against Cuba" to not supply the aircraft of the Cuban state airline.
Additionally, this measure has affected other airlines contracted by Cubana de Aviacion, preventing them from fulfilling commitments to passengers.
This surprising decision took place despite the Cuban flights being approved by the Argentina's National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC).
In response to this situation, the airline has decided to assist affected passengers in Cuba by sending them back on flights operated by other airlines connecting to Argentina. Other passengers will be eligible for a full refund of their airfare.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Cuban airline transported 3,221 passengers with an occupancy rate of 61 percent. The number of Argentine travelers to Cuba increased by 44 percent compared to the same period last year, reaching 12,753 people.
I'd love to know what the domestic spin is on this.
What specifics is he promising this will deliver domestically? I can't imagine Buenos Aires is on Putin's shortlist even without the threst of NATO, and it's not like Americans are goung to start beating the doors down for Argentine imports.
There's tactful good relations, and then there's "sempai notice me". Although, the Cosplay Crusader may well be familiar with that trope.
That's easy, communist dictator overthrew the corporate friendly dictator so the big, rich land owners and industrialist lost their investment. So fled to Dominican Republic, most to Miami.
Their descendants represent an important Latino vote that grew up hating Castro's regime. To the point of some of the most extreme took down a Cuban cargo plane without consequences from the US. The US sucks up to them for their votes in exchange for continued anti Castro policies.
Obama actually started reversing this but guess which orange bozo undid most of it in a single term? Not that Biden did much to try it again.
I meant more how Milei is selling it to Argentina. The absurd political overweight of the Cuban self-exiles in Florida is well known.
Ah my mistake. Miles? Probably some wild rambling involving a chainsaw and his cloned dogs. Oh you mean a rationalization? I have no idea.
