In a recent statement, President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico indicated that the country is open to creating an air bridge to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Cuba, subject to a formal request from the Cuban government. During her Friday morning conference, she expressed Mexico’s readiness to assist the island, emphasizing that operational barriers do not exist for Mexican flights to Cuba, and that the airlines are capable of transporting necessary supplies.

Sheinbaum highlighted the logistical aspects of this proposed air bridge, noting that Mexican airlines are not restricted from flying to Cuba. The availability of turbosina, particularly in light of Cuba's current fuel shortages, was also mentioned, which could enable flights to take off with sufficient fuel from Mexico. This context underscores Mexico's supportive role in addressing the humanitarian challenges faced by Cuba amid its ongoing difficulties.

Mexico has already demonstrated its commitment to aiding Cuba by dispatching two ships loaded with over 814 tons of food and other supplies as part of its humanitarian efforts. Sheinbaum reiterated this support, suggesting that should Cuba reach out for further assistance, Mexico stands ready to extend its aid through an air corridor, fostering closer ties and cooperation between the two nations during these trying times for Cuba.
