The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new emergency order restricting flights to Haiti after three U.S. planes were hit by bullets near Port-au-Prince. The affected airlines include Spirit Airlines, JetBlue and others.
The FAA’s decision comes after an alarming incident where bullets struck three U.S. planes flying in and out of Haiti. The safety of passengers and crew members is of utmost importance, and the FAA is taking swift action to protect them from potential harm.
As a result of this order, U.S. airlines are no longer permitted to fly into Haiti until further notice. This restriction will have a significant impact on travel to and from the country, as flights will be disrupted and passengers will need to find alternative routes.
The situation in Haiti remains volatile, with ongoing political unrest and a high level of crime and violence. The recent incident involving the bullet strikes on U.S. planes is just one example of the dangers that travelers may face in the region.
Passengers who have travel plans to Haiti in the near future are advised to contact their airlines for more information on rebooking or refunds. The FAA will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as necessary to ensure the safety of all those traveling to and from Haiti.
