The last flight operated by a Canadian airline has departed from Cuba, a week after the federal government warned against non-essential travel to the island amid fuel shortages.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand confirmed the final departure on Feb. 18 in a statement on X, thanking airline workers who “helped bring more than 27,900 travellers safely back to Canada.” She said that for Canadians still located in Cuba, there are commercial flight options available through international airlines.
