2.2 Haiti Aviation Haiti Aviation 2.2 Haiti Aviation Haiti Aviation Key airport information may also be found at: World Aero Data Website information on Haiti Air transport is the main channel for passenger traffic. Port-au-Prince international airport is the biggest of the country, where basically all humanitarian and development workers arrive in Haiti. In the weeks following the 2010 earthquake, the main access road between the Dominican Republic and Port-au- Prince was frequently utilized, because Santo Domingo was one of the main entry points at the beginning of the relief operation. But as of today, Port-au- Prince International Airport is again the almost only entry point for passengers. The second international airport of the country is located in the North, at Cap-Haitien. This airport is however not equipped to receive cargo. A number of smaller airports and air fields are present in Haiti, together with numerous Helicopter Landing Zones (HLZ) for internal passenger movements and limited cargo. International flights are available to the United States, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Guadalupe, other Caribbean Island and France. Not all operators are however endorsed by UNDSS, limiting the choice and options for official travels. Other than commercial operators, the UN Stabilisation Mission in Haiti, MINUSTAH, operates its own flights between Port- au-Prince and Santo Domingo, and a number of domestic flights. Those flights are reserved to MINUSTAH personnel and rarely available to other UN Agencies and/or NGOs. Regular cargo flights serve Port-au-Prince International Airport to deliver fresh goods. Even if badly damaged during the 2010 earthquake and already unadapted, aging, and incapable to meet the standards of international traffic and the needs of a local traffic, Port-au-Price International Airport continues to serve as a vital link for Haiti. Besides these technical issues, ground movements for cargo are characterized by very high and varied costs. Given the rather poor conditions of the road network, air transport could be expanded in order to better relay provinces with the capital and its services. Expansion and repair of airstrips could support savings, because fixed-wing aircraft could be used more extensively. For a list of HLZs, please see attached map, which not only includes organized helipads, but also other suitable landing locations utilized during an emergency. Office National Aviation Civile (OFNAC) The Civil Aviation Sector in Haiti is administrated by the OFNAC, which is a body of the Ministère des Travaux Publics, Transport et Communications (MTPTC). OFNAC sets the rules for the Haitian air transport sector. It also controls the country's air space traffic, which consists in a large area of the Caribbean air space. This is done by 24/24h air traffic controller's radio room. OFNAC is part of ICAO. Autorité Aéroportuaire Nationale (AAN) Page 1 Another important body of the Civil Aviation Sector is the AAN. The AAN ensures planning, creation, extensions, management and the exploitation of airports facilities in Haiti. AAN is also part of the MTPTC. International airports: Toussaint Louverture International Airport Port-au-Prince, Ouest departement; and Cap-Haitien International Airport, Nord departement. Domestic airports: Jacmel Airport, Jacmel, Sud-Est; Jeremie Airport, Jeremie, Grand’Anse; Antoine Simon Airport, Les Cayes, Sud; and Port de-Paix Airport, Port de Paix, Nord-Ouest. Other: Anse-à-Galets Airport (on Île de la Gonâve), Anse-à-Galets, Ouest Anse-Rouge Airport, Anse-Rouge, Artibonite Belladere Airport, Belladere, Centre Fond des Blancs Airport, Fond des Blancs, Sud Hinche Airport, Hinche, Centre Haut-Palmistes Airport (on Île de la Tortue), Haut-Palmistes, Nord- Ouest Mole Saint-Nicolas Airport, Mole Saint-Nicolas, Nord-Ouest Ouanaminthe Airport, Ouanaminthe, Nord-Est Phaeton Airfield, Phaeton, Nord-Est Pignon Airport, Pignon, Nord Port-Salut Airport, Port-Salut, Sud. Procedures for Foreign Registered Aircraft Foreign aircraft can land in Haiti only for delivery of cargo and passengers. For longer stays or to operate in Haiti, an authorization has to be obtained from the OFNAC. Conformity certifications and permission for occupying parking space on airport grounds from AAN have to be submitted in order to obtain this authorization.

Between the two, they had an abundance of stories about how they came to build a clinic in Haiti. I told them, without a doubt, the book would write itself. Deciding why I wanted to tell their story was the more difficult part. This book is about the lives of Dick and Barb Hammond and their work in Haiti for over thirty years. It is a story about their love for the Haitian people. It is about one couple’s dedication to helping in a country where the need is great, and change is slow. It is a story about determination, passion, and hope. I knew I wanted to share their story, but I also wanted to be clear about why it was important to tell.
