American Airlines has launched a daily nonstop service between Miami and Cap-Haitien, Haiti, reinstating its presence in the country and celebrating a significant milestone as the airline's 100th destination in the Caribbean and Latin America. This new route, operated by an all-Haitian, Creole-speaking crew led by Captain Oliver Jean, underscores the airline's commitment to Haiti and enhances connectivity through its Miami hub.
The service utilises American's Boeing 737 aircraft, offering passengers over 90 connections across the United States via Miami.
José A. Freig, Vice President of International Operations, highlighted the airline's extensive network in the region, stating, “The continued growth of our network in the region — including being the first airline to return to Venezuela earlier this year — is a reflection of the legacy we’ve built.”
Miami serves as American's most internationally connected hub, with over 410 peak daily flights to more than 170 destinations. Juan Carlos Liscano, Senior Vice President of MIA Operations, emphasised the importance of the US-Haiti connection, particularly in South Florida, and expressed pride in reinstating this vital link.
Looking ahead, American Airlines plans to expand its Miami operations with a reimagined Concourse D, enhanced premium offerings, and its largest-ever winter schedule. The airline also recently reconnected the US with Venezuela after seven years, further demonstrating its commitment to strengthening regional ties.
