Bimini is approximately 50 nm from Miami. Havana is considerably farther
away.

"One of its airplanes was hijacked to Cuba in 1974. Since then, the
company has had a policy of not carrying enough fuel to reach Havana."

Now Havana is not that far from Miami. I have a hard time believing
they would be within legal IFR (or even VFR) reserves if they really
take off without enough fuel to reach Havana. I wonder if they were
just saying that to discourage hijackers?
