A Spirit Airlines flight carrying passengers from California, USA, to Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, was hit during landing by gunfire believed to be from armed gang members.

FLIGHT ATTENDANT INJURED

According to a report by the Miami Herald, the Spirit Airlines flight 951, which was targeted by gunfire, safely landed at Santiago Airport in the Dominican Republic. A spokesperson for Spirit Airlines stated that the plane, which landed at Santiago Airport, was grounded due to minor damage caused by the bullets, and that only one flight attendant was lightly injured in the incident.

"WE HAVE SUSPENDED OUR SERVICES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE"

The spokesperson noted that passengers who landed in the Dominican Republic were taken back to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on a new plane, saying, "The safety of our passengers and flight attendants is our top priority, and we have suspended our services in Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haitien until further notice." Following the incident, all commercial flights at Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Haiti were halted, and all airlines in the USA also suspended flights to Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti.

THOUSANDS HAVE DIED IN GANG ATTACKS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS

According to the United Nations (UN) Integrated Office in Haiti, since the beginning of 2024, 3,900 people have died as a result of armed gang attacks, including 1,374 in the last 6 months. Haiti, which has been struggling with fundamental problems such as political, economic, and security crises for many years, is facing a famine threat with a population exceeding 11 million. In a country where armed gangs control 80% of the capital Port-au-Prince, incidents of violence are increasing day by day.
