Tribune staff report | Starting Friday, American Airlines said
it will resume service into Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Commercial flights
from the U.S. to Haiti have been on hold since Jan. 12 when the
earthquake devastated the country. The first flight will depart from
American’s hub at Miami International Airport at 6:40 a.m.

“All of us at American Airlines and American Eagle have been eager to
restore our normal operations into Haiti,” said Peter Dolara,
American’s Senior Vice President for Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin
America.

“These flights serve as major milestones toward helping the country
rebuild. With commercial air service restored, we can better connect
loved ones and provide consistent transportation to and from Haiti.”
