American Airlines Resumes Daily Flights From Miami to Cap-Haitien

The airline’s first Haiti service since 2024 offers a nonstop option to the north as FAA restrictions keep carriers away from Port-au-Prince.

  • American Airlines restarted daily nonstop service between Miami and Cap-Haïtien on Sunday, November 1, 2026, marking the carrier's return to Haiti after a two-year suspension.
  • Originally halted in November 2024 amid rising gang violence, the airline's suspension followed FAA reports that gangs attacked at least 11 aircraft near Port-au-Prince since February 2024.
  • Avoiding the capital, Port-au-Prince, the flight path complies with an FAA emergency order prohibiting US airlines from flying below 10,000 feet until March 2, 2027.
  • US travelers and Haitian families now have a consistent flight option to northern Haiti, though the State Department advises against all travel to the country due to security concerns.
  • Industry observers are monitoring whether other carriers will follow American into Cap-Haïtien and whether the FAA will modify restrictions before March 2027.
