PORT AU PRINCE (CMC):
US-based low-cost carrier, Spirit Airlines, which had suspended its services to and from Haiti last month, will be resuming flights between the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airport and Cap-Haïtien as of Friday.
In a press release, Spirit said travellers can start booking flights on the airline’s website.
“We are resuming daily service at Cap-Haïtien (CAP) beginning May 10, 2024, following a thorough assessment and discussions with our safety, security, and airport partners.”
However, flights between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince remain suspended, but the airline continues to evaluate its security options and closely monitor the situation in the French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member state.
Over the last few weeks, the only airline that provided flights to and from Cap-Haïtien was the Haitian company Sunrise Airways. With Thursday’s announcement, Spirit Airlines now offers an alternative to Haitians and foreigners to travel to the United States.
