FAA Extends Haiti Flight Ban Until March 2027 | Jamaica News

The FAA just extended its ban on U.S. flights over Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, until March 2027 — a move that blocks commercial and U.S.-registered aircraft from flying below 10,000 feet over the city and surrounding areas. Triggered by a November 2025 attack on a Spirit Airlines plane that left a flight attendant with minor injuries and damaged ground aircraft, the restriction has been repeatedly pushed back as gangs seize control of large parts of the capital and central region. Despite efforts by local police and a UN force to restore order, security remains dire, making travel and aid delivery even harder. This latest extension underscores how deep the crisis runs — and how far off normal air travel in Port-au-Prince still is.
