American Airlines has suspended its Port-au-Prince to Miami route until February 12, 2025, for a period of 90 days. This decision was made after one of its planes was struck by gunfire in Port-au-Prince on Monday, November 11. To date, three planes have been hit by bullets fired by gangs near Toussaint Louverture Airport on that day.

“On Monday, November 11, American Airlines flight 819, traveling from Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) to Miami International Airport (MIA), landed safely and without incident in Miami. As a precautionary measure, a post-flight inspection was conducted, revealing that the exterior of the plane had been struck by a bullet. We are working closely with the relevant authorities to investigate this incident. Our daily service between Miami and Port-au-Prince is now suspended until February 12. We will continue to monitor the situation with a focus on safety and security and will adjust operations as necessary,” reads the statement.
