On Monday, a Spirit Airlines flight was shot at while landing in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, leading to a diversion and highlighting the country's escalating violence.
According to Spirit Airlines spokesman Tommy Fletcher, damage consistent with gunfire was found on the aircraft, and while one flight attendant sustained minor injuries, all passengers were unharmed.
Given the worsening situation in Haiti, Spirit Airlines has suspended its flights to Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haitien following the incident, reflecting growing concerns for passenger safety.
The gunfire appeared to originate from the ground near the airport, with gangs known for violent activities increasingly active in the area, contributing to heightened fears among airlines.
