Sheinbaum does not rule out opening an air bridge to send aid to Cuba: "Flights are not closed"

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated the possibility of establishing an air bridge for humanitarian aid to Cuba, affirming that flights are still operational for this purpose.

In a recent press conference held at the National Palace, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum discussed the potential for Mexico to establish an air bridge to provide humanitarian assistance to Cuba. She emphasized that there are no restrictions on flights between Mexico and Cuba, allowing international airlines to transport aid to the island if requested. The geographical proximity of Mexico to Cuba makes such an operation feasible, and the president expressed her support for facilitating this humanitarian effort.

Sheinbaum highlighted that Mexican airlines are still operational to Cuba, and international carriers could take advantage of Mexican airport terminals to refuel with fuel necessary for their flights to aid the Cuban people. This initiative demonstrates Mexico's willingness to support Cuba amidst its ongoing challenges, emphasizing the country's commitment to international solidarity and humanitarian assistance.

The discussion also reflects Mexico's diplomatic stance in regional affairs and its readiness to play a pivotal role in providing aid in crisis situations. Should this air bridge become a reality, it could open doors for other nations to join in providing humanitarian support, reinforcing Mexico's strategic position in Central America and the Caribbean.
