Haiti - FLASH : JetBlue and Spirit Airlines «consider» resuming flights to Cap-Haitien
23/03/2025 09:21:38

Following a meeting between Fritz Alphonse Jean, President pro temoore of the Transitional Council, and Haiti's National Civil Aviation Office (OFNAC) and National Airports Authority (AAN) regarding the reopening of Port-au-Prince's Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP), which has been closed since November 2024, Jean announced that JetBlue Airways (B6) and Spirit Airlines (NK) were "considering" resuming flights to Cap-Haitien's Hugo Chavez International Airport (CAP), a cautious attempt to restore air connectivity with Haiti.

However, neither airline has yet publicly confirmed any dates for the potential resumption of flights.

While Cap-Haitien International Airport remains operational, commercial flight options are currently limited, with Sunrise Airways (S6) being the only airline providing direct service to the United States.

The return of Spirit and JetBlue to Cap-Haitien could offer several advantages, pending the reopening of Port-au-Prince's airport, including lower airfares thanks to competition. Sunrise Airways currently charges between $530 and $730 one-way as a sole operator.

Furthermore, the Haitian government recently expanded the Les Cayes Antoine-Simon airport to create a potential third international hub. However, no airline has scheduled international flights there so far, making this option uncertain for the time being.
