American Airlines resumes Haiti flights two years after aircraft shootings

American Airlines initiated resumed flights to Haiti on Tuesday, marking the first time service has operated to the nation in almost two years. This resumption follows a period of significant disruption caused by tragic events involving American Airlines aircraft at Port-au-Prince International Airport in February 2024. The airline’s decision comes after extensive consultations with Haitian authorities and security assessments conducted over recent months. These efforts focused on ensuring the safety and security of its personnel and passengers traveling to the country. Currently, American Airlines is operating one flight per week from Miami International Airport to Port-au-Prince.
