The Federal Aviation Administration is urgently considering banning U.S. flights to Haiti after gunfire incidents involving Spirit Airlines and JetBlue planes during landings, raising significant safety concerns.
A Spirit Airlines plane, diverted to the Dominican Republic after being struck by gunfire four times while landing in Port-au-Prince, underscores the escalating violence affecting aviation safety in Haiti.
JetBlue confirmed a bullet struck one of its flights from Haiti to New York, leading to the suspension of all flights to and from Haiti until Dec. 2, highlighting the ongoing threat.
Despite the tense situation, the Spirit Airlines flight landed safely, with no serious injuries reported, though one flight attendant sustained minor injuries, indicating the challenges of maintaining air service in Haiti.
