*Haitian airline Sunrise Airways S.A. has announced the suspension of all arriving and departing flights to and from Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, until further notice. According to a statement by Sunrise Airways, the decision was taken to “protect our passengers, crews, and operations, given the current security situation”, adding that the airline is “closely monitoring developments in coordination with the relevant authorities and will resume operations as soon as conditions allow”. Sources told the Miami Herald that the decision was taken after a domestic flight operated by Sunrise Airways was struck by bullets on 23 November while landing at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in the capital. According to the Herald, no injuries were reported. The incident takes place amid an uptick in violence by armed gangs which control over 90% of the capital and large swathes of the country. In September the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) extended a ban on civil aviation flights into Haiti, which was first announced in November 2024, until 7 March 2026 in specified portions of Haiti’s airspace. It cited “security forces’ continued inability to prevent attacks against aircraft in Port-au-Prince and the surrounding regions”.
