ECASA, Cuba's state airport operator, is responsible for provisioning Jet A-1 fuel and other aviation liquids to carriers at Frank Pais International, one of Cuba's international airports that ECASA operates. Cuba's international airports, explicitly including Holguin, suffered a nationwide Jet A-1 shortage from Feb 10 to Mar 11 2026 amid halted Venezuelan and Mexican oil shipments, so current fuel availability at HOG is unconfirmed as of this date.
