Summary
Several airlines, including Spirit, American, and JetBlue, have suspended flights to Haiti after gunfire struck a Spirit Airlines plane attempting to land in Port-au-Prince.
The plane was diverted to the Dominican Republic, where it landed safely with no passenger injuries, though a flight attendant was slightly hurt.
This incident marks the second time in three weeks that aircraft have been targeted over Haiti’s capital.
The country is experiencing severe instability, with armed gangs controlling large areas, despite a UN-backed policing mission led by Kenyan officers.
They’ll probably charge you for it.
