Date set for resumption of Haiti flights

Tuesday, 17 Mar, 2010 0

 

Delta Air Lines is to resume flights between New York and Haiti which were suspended when January’s earthquake hit the Caribbean destination.

Three flights a week will start between JFK and Port-au-Prince on April 3, rising to five a week from June 10.

The airline started service to Haiti in June last year but postponed flights following the devastating earthquake on January 12.

Flights from April will depart JFK on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 09.00, arrving in Haiti at 12.08. Tuesday and Friday flights are to be added in June.

The airline’s international airport customer service vice-president James Sarvis said: "As part of a long standing commitment to the Caribbean basin, Delta looks forward to once again providing multiple travel options that not only connect the tri-state area to Haiti but will assist in ensuring more access to this region for rebuilding and humanitarian efforts."
