Air traffic disruptions have escalated in Haiti due to gunfire incidents involving Spirit Airlines and JetBlue flights. A Spirit Airlines flight from Fort Lauderdale was shot at while attempting to land in Port-au-Prince, resulting in one flight attendant being injured and the plane being diverted to the Dominican Republic. Following these incidents, JetBlue announced it would halt flights to Haiti through December 2, while multiple airlines have suspended operations amid rising gang violence. The main airport in Haiti has been closed as authorities continue to grapple with escalating insecurity.
