March 4 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration said on Thursday it was extending prohibitions barring U.S. flights to the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince through September 3, citing risks from armed groups to civil aviation.
In November 2024, the FAA temporarily halted all flights to Haiti after three U.S. commercial jetliners were struck by gunfire. It later allowed U.S. flights to resume to six other airports in northern Haiti outside of Port-au-Prince. The restrictions had been set to expire Saturday.
