Air Canada

Air Canada is a major Canadian airline. It is currently newsworthy due to the suspension of all flights to Cuba. This suspension is a direct consequence of the US oil blockade on Cuba, which has led to a severe aviation fuel shortage on the island. Air Canada is in the process of repatriating approximately 3,000 customers stranded in Cuba. The airline cited advisories regarding the unreliability of fuel supply at Cuban airports as the reason for its decision. In separate incidents, a former flight attendant was arrested for posing as a pilot to obtain free flights on US airlines, and passengers on an Air Canada flight were alarmed by screams emanating from the cargo hold, where a ground crew member was accidentally trapped. These events highlight the airline's operational challenges amidst geopolitical tensions and internal incidents.
