American Airlines officially resumed flights to Haiti on Sunday, November 1, 2026, with inaugural flight AA2492 landing at Cap-Haïtien International Airport, according to haitilibre.com.

The flight departed Miami at 10:30 a.m. and landed at 12:28 p.m., re-establishing a daily air bridge between the United States and Haiti. The inaugural flight was operated by an entirely Haitian and Creole-speaking crew under the command of Captain Oliver Jean, a former Director of Civil Aviation in Haiti who later joined American Airlines. The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Director General of OFNAC, the Director General of the National Airport Authority (AAN), local authorities and diplomatic and economic representatives. Pierre Louis said the return brings 'families that come closer and new perspectives.' Pascual Álvarez, American's Managing Director for South America, Central America and Caribbean Operations, noted the carrier has served Haiti since 1971. The daily service will be operated by Boeing 737 aircraft, offering more than 90 connection options across the U.S. via Miami.
