FAA Extends Flight Ban to Port-au-Prince Amid Rising Violence

The FAA has extended its ban on flights to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, until March 2025, following recent incidents of gunfire targeting commercial aircraft. This suspension is a response to a surge in gang violence, which has plagued Haiti for decades. The situation escalated significantly after a violent weekend in which 184 individuals were reportedly killed by gangs. Despite efforts for political stability, including the appointment of a new interim prime minister, the security situation in the capital remains dire.
