Since the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, there has been a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the future of American Airlines flights to the country. The airline has announced that it will be suspending service to Haiti in February 2019, citing the high cost of operating in the country.
However, there is still some hope that American Airlines may decide to reinstate flights to Haiti in the future. .
The original American Airlines flight to Haiti was inaugurated in 1972 and operated out of Miami. The route was one of the airline’s first international flights.
The airline has flown to Haiti intermittently since the 2010 earthquake, but the suspension of service in 2019 will be the first time that the route has not been operated since 2010.
The cost of operating in Haiti is high due to the country’s high taxes and fees. The cost of fuel, crew salaries, and other expenses make it difficult for American Airlines to make a profit on its flights to Haiti.
Additionally, the airline has had to suspend service to Haiti due to the high number of flight cancellations and delays that have occurred in the country in recent years.
American Airlines has not ruled out the possibility of reinstating flights to Haiti in the future. However, it is unlikely that the airline will resume service in 2019 due to the high cost of operating in the country.
