The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has revised its flight restrictions for Haiti, reopening airspace over the northern regions, including Cap-Haïtien. This update comes after a blanket prohibition on flights across all Haitian airspace was implemented due to escalating gang violence, particularly in and around the capital, Port-au-Prince.
The initial flight ban followed alarming incidents in which armed groups targeted three commercial aircraft, hitting them with gunfire.
While Port-au-Prince’s airspace remains restricted under the updated FAA notice, this partial reopening provides a glimmer of hope for airlines and passengers seeking safer travel routes.
The decision also raises questions about whether airlines that had previously suspende
d operations in Haiti will now resume flights to Cap-Haïtien.
To date, no official announcements have been made regarding the restoration of these services, leaving travelers and industry experts watching closely for updates.
As northern Haiti’s airspace becomes accessible again, it remains to be seen how this adjust

ment will impact travel and commerce in the region amidst the country’s ongoing security challenges.
