Haiti - FLASH : Resumption of domestic flights including Port-au-Prince
On June 5, 2025, Alfred Métellus, Minister of Economy and Finance, and Philippe Bayard, Chairman and CEO of the private Haitian airline Sunrise Airways, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to resume domestic flights. This initiative is part of the country's economic recovery and territorial development strategy. Flights will resume on June 12, 2025, connecting Port-au-Prince to Cap-Haïtien, Les Cayes, and Jérémie. The signing ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé and the Director General of the National Airport Authority, Yves Ducarmel François.

This strategic decision follows several weeks of suspension of domestic flights due to structural and security difficulties. The Prime Minister emphasized the critical importance of this initiative for the revival of the national aviation sector. He stated that it will facilitate connectivity between regions, stimulate economic exchanges, and strengthen the country's social and commercial fabric. The Prime Minister also expressed the hope that this relaunch will inspire other partners, particularly international ones, to actively contribute to the gradual redeployment of air traffic to and from Haiti.

In a press release, Sunrise Airways provided details of this agreement, which follows a request from the Haitian Government to Sunrise Airways to resume its scheduled domestic flights to and from Port-au-Prince.

"Sunrise Airways agreed to this sollicitation, conditional upon the implementation of an additional insurance solution provided by the State. This measure is intended to ensure a minimum acceptable level of coverage for potential human casualties and material damages in the event of an incident or air disaster, whether directly or indirectly linked to the country’s highly volatile security situation." This supplementary coverage, with a maximum amount of USD 11 million, will be provided by the State via the Ministry of Economy and Finance in the form of a financial guarantee. This guarantee will only be activated when necessary, to directly compensate victims, their beneficiaries, and for material damages, as a complement to the compensation paid by the airline’s insurance provider.

The agreement signed on June 5, 2025, between the State and Sunrise Airways defines the technical procedures for the implementation of this guarantee, as well as the operational framework for the gradual resumption of regular domestic flights exclusively.

Sunrise Airways would like to express its sincere appreciation to the Prime Minister and public authorities for their commitment and actions that made this outcome possible.

Information on schedules and fares will be available shortly on the website www.sunriseairways.net "
