Although it was scheduled to be inaugurated in mid-July, the Cayes-Miami flight that the company IBC Airways intended to operate is now at a standstill. After a successful test flight on June 12, the airline’s representatives have been unsuccessfully trying to obtain authorization from the National Airport Authority (AAN) to secure space at the Antoine Simon Airport in Les Cayes. According to its representative in Haiti, Dimitri Fouchard, IBC has sent six letters to the Director General of the AAN. All have gone unanswered.

“Our first letter dates back to the end of May. Since the entire airport is occupied by another company, we asked the AAN to authorize us to place containers to house our services. Our six letters, all concerning the same matter, have gone unanswered,” said Dimitri Fouchard during an interview with Le Nouvelliste on Monday afternoon.
