Port-au-Prince, May 21 (RHC)-- Haiti's airport authorities reported the resumption on Monday of commercial operations at the Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, after being closed for more than three months as a result of the political situation in the Caribbean country.

When Amerijet and Sunrise aircraft landed, services were inaugurated at the country's main air terminal, marking the return to normality at an airport where combats and exchanges of gunfire took place between the police and members of armed criminal gangs.  They still spread terror throughout Haiti.

Before the reopening, numerous security measures were taken at the airport facilities, including the reinforcement of surveillance at the entrances and the destruction of several hundred country houses located in the surrounding area that served as hideouts for armed gangs.

The action of the armed gangs, which took positions at the beginning of 2024 in the strategic area of ​​the airport, led last March to suspend the activity of commercial flights, which have continued to operate at the Cap Haitien airport, in the north.
