American Airlines Resumes Haiti Service With Inaugural Miami–Cap-Haïtien Flight

American Airlines resumed scheduled service to Haiti on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, with inaugural flight AA2492 departing Miami at 10:30 a.m. and landing at Cap-Haïtien International Airport at 12:28 p.m., according to haitilibre.com. Joseph Almathe Pierre Louis, Minister of Public Works, Transport and Communications, announced the official resumption, marking the carrier's return after roughly two years of interruption. The inaugural flight was operated by an entirely Haitian, Creole-speaking crew under Captain Oliver Jean, who previously served as Director of Civil Aviation in Haiti before joining American Airlines. The ceremony drew the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Director General of the National Civil Aviation Office (OFNAC), the Director General of the National Airport Authority (AAN), diplomatic representatives and local economic figures. Minister Pierre Louis said the connection would reunite families and open new perspectives, adding that the earlier suspension had prolonged separations. Pascual Álvarez, American's Managing Director for South America, Central America and Caribbean Operations, noted the airline has served Haiti since 1971. Juan Carlos Liscano, Senior Vice President of MIA Operations, cited the link's significance for South Florida. The daily service, operated by Boeing 737s, offers more than 90 connection options across the U.S. via Miami. The MIA–CAP flight departs at 10:20 a.m.; the CAP–MIA departs at 1:28 p.m., according to haitilibre.com.
