Air Canada suspended all flights to Cuba effective tomorrow, February 10, 2026, and will begin evacuating stranded passengers in the country starting then, according to an announcement by Agus Antonetti on X at 7:16-8:16 PM UTC on February 9, 2026. The decision affects all routes to the island nation. The suspension comes amid ongoing crises in Cuba, including electricity blackouts and migration pressures, as previously reported. No specific reason for the suspension was stated in the X post during this one-hour reporting window, though it follows Nicaragua's cancellation of visa-free travel for Cubans yesterday, prompting gatherings at its Havana embassy earlier today per prior reports. This development adds to transportation challenges for Cubans, with Uruguay recording net arrivals of over 15,000 Cuban nationals in 2025 alone, according to local television reports cited by MagJorgeCastro on X in the previous hour. Cuban activists also requested aid from Argentine President Javier Milei today over arrests of content creators, gaining support from singer Alejandro Sanz and the US Embassy in Havana, as noted by UHN_Plus on X earlier.
