A Spirit Airlines flight was just meters from landing in Port-au-Prince having come from Fort Lauderdale in Florida, when gangs shot at the plane, injuring a flight attendant.
"One Flight Attendant on board reported minor injuries and is being evaluated by medical personnel," the statement said. "No Guest injuries were reported."
Spirit said that it is suspending its services to Haiti pending "evaluation" of the incident and that the plane was being taken out of service for the time being.
American Airlines said in a statement that it was also suspending its services from Miami to Port-au-Prince.
"We will continue to monitor the situation with safety and security top of mind and will adjust our operation as needed," it said.
JetBlue's website said the airline was "anticipating disruptions in Haiti due to civil unrest" and waiving cancellation fees from Monday through Saturday.
The State Department said in an alert from the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince on Monday that it was aware of a pause in operations at the city's airport.
