Haiti’s international airport in Port-au-Prince has reopened after being closed for a month due to attacks on aircraft by gangs. Authorities, supported by a UN police force from Kenya, are optimistic about resuming air travel, seeing this as a pivotal moment for the local economy. However, commercial flights had not yet resumed on the first day of reopening, amid heavy security presence. Gangs continue to inflict violence, with over 5,000 reported deaths in the past year. The United States has extended its flight ban to Port-au-Prince amid safety concerns.
