The United States civil aviation regulator has grounded all flights to Haiti for a month following incidents of two jets from US-based airlines being struck by bullets while flying over Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, amidst escalating gang violence.
Spirit Airlines reported that one of its planes was hit by gunfire while attempting to land in Port-au-Prince, resulting in minor injuries to a crew member. JetBlue also found damage from a bullet on one of its planes returning from Haiti.
