On The Foreign Scene
Haiti’s Toussaint Louverture International Airport is closed again after gunfire hit two U.S. commercial planes, including a Spirit Airlines flight, injuring a flight attendant. The FAA has banned all U.S. airlines from operating in Haiti for 30 days due to escalating gang violence, leaving the country isolated from international travel.
The airport, which is critical for access, will remain shut until at least November 18. The U.S. embassy has issued a security alert advising against travel to Haiti, citing unpredictable and dangerous conditions amid ongoing gang conflicts that have claimed nearly 4,000 lives this year.
