Haiti’s Sunrise Airways is preparing to launch service to at least two new destinations in the U.S.
The carrier wrote on social media that it will soon offer nonstop flights between Cap-Haïtien and New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Currently, the airline’s only destination in the U.S. is Miami.
Sunrise told its followers to “stay tuned” for more information about the flights, including start dates.
Sunrise has its main hub at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince. It flies within Haiti and to Caribbean destinations such as Turks and Caicos, Sint Maarten, and Guadeloupe. A second hub at V. C. Bird International Airport in St. John’s, Antigua, supports additional routes to eastern Caribbean islands like Saint Kitts and Saint Lucia.
The carrier has also teased new routes to Santo Domingo and Barbados.
The U.S. State Department currently advises citizens not to travel to Haiti due to extreme instability in the country. Its Level 4 advisory cites kidnapping, crime, terrorist activity, civil unrest, and limited healthcare.
