Event: Routine domestic commercial air travel has resumed between Cap Haitien International Airport and Les Cayes’ Antoine Simon Airport, and Cap Haitien International Airport and Port-au- Prince’s Guy Malary domestic terminal.  U.S. citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti by commercial or other privately available transportation options when they feel it is safe to do so.  U.S. citizens should monitor local news and check regularly with travel agencies and commercial transportation providers’ offices and webpages to find departure options that suit their needs.

We are aware of U.S. citizens traveling to Cap Haitien via helicopter from sites other than commercial airports; those flights involve potential risks citizens should assess before flying.  U.S. government personnel are not authorized to travel on commercial flights into or out of Port-au-Prince because of Federal Aviation Administration restrictions and potential risks to air traffic. The U.S. government does not endorse private nor commercial carriers. 

If you require emergency assistance to return to the U.S., please email [email protected].
