Haiti
Risk Level: Three - Caution
[ about risk levels ]
March 2024: Worsening gang violence in Haiti. A state of emergency is now in place, and the US Embassy has issued a new warning for its citizens to leave immediately. Aviation has also come under direct threat, with reports of several armed attacks at MTPP/Port-au-Prince in recent days. All flights have been cancelled until further notice and the airport is now effectively closed.
Only the US have issued an airspace warning for Haiti - cautioning about unpublished airport and airspace restrictions. However, conditions on the ground have been likened to an active war zone. For flights, normal services are unlikely to be available, and crew security cannot be guaranteed.
