Two US airlines suspend flights to Haiti

CMC – Two airlines, JetBlue and Spirit, have suspended flights to the French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member state in the wake of a fresh spike in gang violence.

Both US airlines cancelled flights between Fort Lauderdale in Florida and Port-au-Prince, however, JetBlue has maintained its direct flight from New York City.

Neither airline has publicly stated why the flights were suspended.

According to a report issued earlier this week by the United Nations, more than 10,000 people have been displaced due to attacks in the past week around the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area.
