Monday, the businessman and philanthropist Philippe Bayard, President of the private Haitian airline Sunrise Airways based in Port-au-Prince, whose head office is located in Haiti announced the opening of a new connection between Santo-Domingo (Dominican Republic) and Havana (Cuba). According to Bayard the excellent historical relationship between Haiti and Cuba was "a determining factor" when choosing destinations on the island.

For this destination, Sunrise Airways will operate two weekly flights, Wednesday and Sunday, from Santo Domingo at 7:00 am. The return flight will depart from Havana at 5:30 pm.

Philippe Bayard said he was pleased with the opening of this new destination in the Caribbean, which positions Sunrise Airways "as one of the fastest growing airlines in the region, exceeding 200,000 passengers in the ten first months of 2018." https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-24704-haiti-flash-sunrise-airways-a-haitian-success-story.html
