Cayman Airways Limited (CAL) says its once-weekly service to Havana, Cuba, could face disruptions following a fuel shortage at José Martí International Airport.

In a statement dated February 10, 2026, the airline said a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) issued by Cuban aviation authorities indicates that Jet A-1 aviation fuel will not be available at the airport from February 10 to March 11, 2026. The restriction applies to all international airlines operating into Havana.

CAL officials said the lack of fuel presents major operational challenges and could result in flight cancellations during the affected period, depending on safety and operational feasibility.

The airline also warned of wider fuel supply concerns, including possible shortages affecting ground support equipment and other essential airport services. Officials noted there are additional concerns about accommodation and ground support arrangements if aircraft are delayed or unable to depart as scheduled.

“These are extraordinary circumstances that are evolving daily and are beyond the airline’s control,” said Capt Dave Scott, Executive Vice President of Flight Operations and Chief Operations Officer for CAL. “Fuel availability is fundamental for our flight operations. The fuel suspension, when combined with the risk of unreliable ground services and support systems, makes maintaining the weekly service quite challenging. While we continue to closely monitor the situation and evaluate all possible options, Cayman Airways must always prioritize safety, regulatory compliance, and operational integrity.”

Scott said the airline is continuing discussions with aviation authorities and industry partners and will provide updates as more information becomes available.

CAL is urging customers booked on upcoming Havana flights to ensure their contact details are current and to monitor the airline’s official communication channels.

The airline has introduced a change fee waiver for passengers wishing to adjust their travel plans. The waiver applies to customers whose original travel dates fall between February 10 and March 31, 2026, provided there is no change to the origin or destination, passengers travel in the same cabin and tickets were purchased on or before February 10, 2026. Refunds to the original form of payment will not be issued, but full credit can be applied to the airline’s Travel Bank.

CAL said customers will be contacted directly if flights are cancelled and advised of available options in accordance with company policies.

The airline thanked customers for their understanding and patience as the situation develops.
