American Airlines to resume service to Haiti

CHICAGO (Reuters) – AMR Corp’s American Airlines on Tuesday said it would resume service to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Friday, its first flight to the nation since a devastating earthquake last month.

Additionally, AMR’s American Eagle will begin new service into Haiti from Puerto Rico starting March 12.

U.S. carriers suspended operations in Haiti following the 7.0 magnitude earthquake on January 12.

Delta Air Lines, the world’s largest airline, canceled its flight from New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport to Port-au-Prince.

A Delta spokesman said on Tuesday in an email that the carrier was working with Haitian authorities to reinstate commercial service as quickly as possible, and hoped to be able to announce a date shortly.
