中国国航加开航班，接运滞留古巴旅客
China’s flag carrier scrambles to fly stranded passengers out of fuel-starved Cuba
中国国航为因航班接连取消而滞留古巴的旅客加开 CA590，航班原定周一晚起飞。受古巴机场喷气燃料短缺影响，北京经马德里往返哈瓦那的每周两班 CA866 航线自 2 月以来运营困难，古巴官方通知称包括哈瓦那在内的 10 座机场燃料短缺将持续至 11 月。
Dozens of Air China passengers stranded in Cuba by successive cancellations were due to fly out on an extra flight on Monday, as a US oil embargo deepens the island’s energy crisis. The disruption has hit one of Cuba’s last direct air links to Europe, the Chinese carrier’s twice-weekly route between Beijing and Havana via Madrid.
Air China added flight CA590 for travellers whose regular CA866 service was cancelled before October 10, the Chinese embassy said in a notice on Sunday. The flight was due to leave at 10.30pm local time, and seats were limited, it said.
The embassy had warned on October 10 that flights on the route faced frequent schedule changes and temporary cancellations for “technical reasons”, without giving details.
The route has been hard to operate since February, when Cuban airports ran out of jet fuel. Official notices extend the shortage at 10 airports, Havana included, until November.
