Aviation Safety in Haiti

Haiti is a small island nation. However, there are many small airports scattered throughout the country, but most of these have unpaved runways. Before choosing to fly within Haiti, you should understand the differences in aviation standards between the United States and Haiti. In fact, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed Haiti’s Aviation Authority under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and has deemed them as not being compliant with the outlined standards.

There are many differences between Haiti and the United States. While some differences offer an opportunity for unique and exciting experiences, others can put your wellbeing and safety at risk. Be sure to understand and evaluate these risks prior to planning your trip. For further insights, visit the FAA’s website.
