JetBlue and Spirit Airlines suspend flights to Haiti

October 26, 2024

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (CMC) – Two airlines, JetBlue and Spirit, have suspended flights to Haiti due to a new spike in gang violence.

Both US airlines have canceled flights to Port-au-Prince from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, although JetBlue has maintained its direct flight from New York City.

Neither airline has publicly stated why the flights were suspended.

More than 10,000 people had been displaced due to attacks over the past week around the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, according to a United Nations report earlier this week.
