Event: The airport in Cap-Haïtien has opened periodically for departing flights, although availability is very limited. The airport in Port-au-Prince remains closed. We are arranging a charter flight for U.S. citizens from Cap-Haitien to the United States, assuming the security situation in Cap-Haitien remains stable.

U.S. citizens who choose to depart using U.S. government coordinated flights must sign a promissory note agreeing to reimburse the U.S. government for the cost of the flight.
