Air China cancels some Beijing–Havana flights on one of the two remaining Europe–Cuba air links

China’s Embassy in Cuba warned of frequent schedule changes and temporary cancellations affecting some Air China flights between Beijing and Havana. The airline operates flight CA865 to Havana and CA866 in the opposite direction.

The diplomatic mission said the changes were due to “technical reasons.” It also advised travelers planning to use those connections to watch for possible changes to avoid disruptions.

The route includes a stop in Madrid. Air China operates two weekly frequencies, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and also sells tickets for the Madrid–Havana segment.

The notice does not identify which frequencies were canceled or how long the changes will last. Nor does it attribute the cancellations to Cuba’s shortage of aviation fuel: the embassy cited only “technical reasons.”

Passengers holding tickets on CA865 or CA866 should check the connection’s status and monitor airline notices before traveling to the airport.
