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.
