The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince continues to work diligently to assist U.S. citizens in Haiti who wish to return to the United States during this Covid-19 pandemic period.

Please understand that flights to the United States are approved by the Government of Haiti on a case-by-case basis, have limited available seating in order to preserve social distancing, and often sell out in a short amount of time. Please understand that authorization for these flights is often granted with less than 48 hours’ notice. Please take this information into account when making travel plans, especially if you are not in Port-au-Prince.

When a commercial airline is granted authorization to operate a flight from Haiti to the United States, the U.S. Embassy will alert the U.S. citizen community as quickly as possible through the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).

According to the JetBlue Airways website (www.jetblue.com), the June 11th, 18th, 25th and 29th flights from Port-au-Prince to Fort Lauderdale and JFK are sold out.

The U.S. Embassy is not aware of any authorized flights from Haiti to the United States after June 29th, or if flights will be authorized in the future. U.S. citizens who do not return to the United States while commercial or commercially available flights are available may be forced to remain outside of the United States for an indefinite period.

To facilitate these efforts, we have created a new email address open to the public to address your concerns. For all questions related to returning to the United States, please send an email to: PortauPrinceUSCitizen@state.gov
