Haiti has taken a major step toward economic revitalization and international connectivity with the resumption of commercial flights at Toussaint Louverture International Airport. The milestone, achieved on December 17, 2024, is set to benefit airlines like Sunrise Airways, which have long been a vital link between Haiti and the wider region.
The first commercial flight, operated by Aeroregional to Brazil, marked the start of Haiti’s renewed air connectivity. Local airlines such as Sunrise Airways are expected to leverage this reopening to strengthen their operations and expand travel options for passengers.
Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé emphasized the importance of the airport’s reopening in restoring Haiti’s economic activities. “Securing our strategic infrastructure was a priority. This is not just about flights—it’s about Haiti reclaiming its place on the global map,” he stated.
Sunrise Airways, a key player in regional aviation, has been instrumental in connecting Haiti with neighboring countries. With the reopening of Toussaint Louverture International Airport, the airline is poised to help facilitate greater economic opportunities and foster stronger ties within the Caribbean and beyond.
Efforts are also underway to address restrictions from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which will be crucial in expanding Haiti’s aviation potential. This progress is seen as a critical step in improving Haiti’s global standing and boosting its tourism, trade, and investment sectors.
For Sunrise Airways and Haiti’s broader aviation sector, the resumption of flights signals a brighter horizon. Stakeholders remain cautiously optimistic about the long-term impact on Haiti’s economic and social recovery.
