Haiti
Risk Level: Three - Caution
[ about risk levels ]
June 2024: Haiti’s main airport, MTPP/Port-au-Prince, was closed from March-May 2024 due to sustained gang violence across Haiti. Aviation came under direct threat during the worst of the violence, with several reports of several armed attacks at MTPP. A new government has since been formed, but gangs still control much of the capital, and the US still advises against all travel to the country.
Only the US have issued an airspace warning for Haiti - cautioning about unpublished airport and airspace restrictions. For flights, crew security cannot be guaranteed.
