Haiti - FLASH : Spirit temporarily suspends flights, JetBlue cancels one
Spirit Airlines has temporarily cancelled all its flights between Port-au-Prince and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Since Thursday, it is no longer possible to book a ticket for this route on the company's website before Monday, subject to the evolution of the security situation. The reason for this cancellation has not been publicly indicated but could be linked to the shooting of a UN helicopter https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-43494-haiti-news-zapping.html and the rise in violence in Haiti that could compromise the safety of passengers and crews...
For its part, the company Jetblue airways has also temporarily suspended its connection between Port-au-Prince and Fort Lauderdale, but has maintained a direct flight between Port-au-Prince and New York. However, according to our sources, the suspension would not be due to insecurity but to a problem of crew planning. The company expects a return to normal this Saturday, October 26, 2024.
