PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (CMC) — In response to escalating gang-related violence, JetBlue and Spirit Airlines have announced the suspension of their flights to Haiti.
The cancellations specifically affect routes between Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Port-au-Prince, though JetBlue continues to operate its direct flights from New York City.
Details regarding the reasons for these suspensions have not been disclosed by either airline.
Recent reports from the United Nations highlight the severity of the situation, indicating that over 10,000 individuals have been forcibly displaced from their homes in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area within just the past week due to increasing hostilities.
