Sunrise Airways has suspended all flights to and from Port au Prince until further notice due to security concerns after an aircraft sustained bullet damage on 23 November.
A domestic flight from Les Cayes to Port au Prince received bullet strikes during landing in the capital with no injuries reported. The carrier issued a statement that it reversed the suspension only when conditions permitted safe operations. Sunrise Airways restarted Port au Prince services earlier in the year following a previous halt from gang violence and a hub shift to Cap Haitien.
The Haitian government provided a supplementary financial guarantee to cover damages and victims alongside the airline’s insurance.
Sunrise Airways shared “The safety of our passengers and employees remains the company’s top priority. No risks will be taken until all conditions are fully met to operate safely and confidently.”
