US barring flights to Haiti for 30 days after flights struck by gunfire
Nov 12, 2024 2:48 PM

WASHINGTON, Nov 12 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation

Administration said on Tuesday it will bar U.S. airlines from

operating in Haiti for 30 days after two commercial jetliners

were struck by gunfire on Monday.

The FAA issued a Notice to Air Mission prohibiting U.S.

civil aviation operations in the territory and airspace of Haiti

below 10,000 feet for 30 days.

On Monday, a Spirit Airlines ( SAVE ) flight destined for

the Haitian capital was struck by gunfire, forcing it to be

diverted to the neighboring Dominican Republic, while a JetBlue

Airways ( JBLU ) flight returning from Port-au-Prince was

discovered with bullet damage after arriving in New York.
