Services resume to Haiti
Relief aid to Haiti via American Eagle
UPS and American Airlines have resumed scheduled services to Haiti.
UPS said it is delivering to the Port-au-Prince and Petionville areas of Haiti but due to the “unstable situation of the local infrastructure, service guarantees to and from Haiti remain suspended.”
American Airlines operated its first commercial flight since the Jan. 12 earthquake from Miami to Port-au-Prince on Feb. 19.
On March 12, American Eagle will begin a new ATR-72 service into Haiti from its hub in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The AA subsidiary will operate a daily nonstop flight as well as two flights via two Santo Domingo and Santiago in the Dominican Republic.
Ralph Latortue, consul general of Haiti in Florida commented, "We are very grateful to American Airlines and American Eagle for their continued commitment to Haiti. Not only are they the first passenger airlines to return to Haiti, they were the first commercial airlines to start bringing relief supplies to help our people."
Since Jan. 13 the two airlines have operated 30 flights to Haiti transporting relief workers, medical personnel and more than 400,000 pounds of humanitarian aid.
