WASHINGTON, Nov 11 (Reuters) - JetBlue Airways ( JBLU )
said late on Monday it will extend a halt to all flights to and
from Haiti through Dec. 2 after damage from a bullet to a plane
returning from Port-au-Prince was discovered.
A Spirit Airlines ( SAVE ) flight destined for the Haitian
capital was struck by gunfire earlier on Monday, forcing it to
be diverted to the neighboring Dominican Republic. The earlier
incident had prompted JetBlue ( JBLU ) and American Airlines ( AAL ) to
cancel all flights through Thursday.
JetBlue ( JBLU ) said its Flight 935 arrived later on Monday in New
York without reporting any issues but a post-flight inspection
later identified that the aircraft's exterior had been struck by
a bullet.
