A JetBlue Airbus A320 was damaged after reportedly being struck by gunfire in Haiti on Monday. Flight 634 from Port-au-Prince to New York-JFK landed safely just after 3 p.m. local time.
An airline spokesperson told CBS News that an exterior inspection of the aircraft revealed a bullet hole. The crew reported no issues during the flight.
The incident comes after news broke Monday that a Spirit A320neo was hit with multiple bullets on approach to Port-au-Prince, injuring a flight attendant. The flight diverted and landed safely.
As a result of the incident, JetBlue says it will cancel all flights to Haiti through Dec. 2. Registered as N623JB, the A320 remains out of service, according to flight tracking data.
Haiti has seen violent unrest for months. Multiple airlines have paused and restarted service to the country in response to the violence.
