Saint Dominic.-A group of Haitian passengers who were on the plane of the American airline Spirit Airlines, which last Monday had to land at the Santiago airport, in the Dominican Republic, after being hit by at least six bullets at the Santiago airport. Port-au-Prince arrived yesterday in the province of Dajabón and from there crossed to Juana Méndez, Haiti.
The group of Haitians who arrived in Dajabón hired a bus to travel to the border and after stamping their passports crossed into Haiti, while others were sent by the airline.
There were 48 people on the aircraft, of whom it has been reported that only one flight attendant was slightly injured by one of the shots.
Suspend flights
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA, of the United States) prohibited commercial flights to Haiti since yesterday after the shooting attacks suffered on Monday by two aircraft of the American companies Spirit and JetBlue from Port-au-Prince, capital of the Caribbean country.
The federal agency issued a notice today announcing that all US operators were prohibited from flying to Haiti for the next 30 days.
The federal agency today issued a notification announcing that all US operators were prohibited from flying to Haiti for the next 30 days, “due to the risks associated with the continued security instability” in the aforementioned nation, which suffers a social and political crisis.
The announcement comes a day after a plane operated by Spirit and coming from Fort Lauderdale, in southern Florida (USA), was shot at from the ground as it approached Toussaint Louverture International Airport, in Port-au-Prince, an incident that left one crew member with minor injuries and forced the ship to divert to the Dominican Republic.
UN cancels aid
The United Nations Organization temporarily suspended the delivery of humanitarian aid in Haiti due to the impossibility of access to the port and airport in the capital, due to the serious deterioration of the security situation, which prevents humanitarian flights.
Collaboration
— Prime Minister
The United States offered collaboration to the new Prime Minister of Haiti, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, who took office after the dismissal of Garry Conille, and demanded the Transitional Presidential Council be accountable.
