The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Thursday it was extending its prohibition on U.S. flights landing in Port-au-Prince through September 3, citing risks from armed groups to civil aviation.
In November 2024, the FAA halted all flights to Haiti after three U.S. commercial jetliners were struck by gunfire.
It later allowed flights to resume to six other airports in northern Haiti, but kept the ban on Port-au-Prince.
That restriction had been set to expire on Saturday, but the FAA said on Thursday it was extending the bar in response to security forces' continued inability to prevent attacks against aircraft in the Capital and surrounding regions.
