Spirit Airline flight from Florida hit by gunfire in Haiti, diverted to Santiago
Monday, 11 November 2024 () A Spirit Airlines flight from Florida to Haiti was struck by gunfire during landing, injuring a flight attendant. The plane safely diverted to the Dominican Republic. Spirit Airlines suspended its Haiti service, and American Airlines halted flights between Miami and Port-au-Prince. The gunfire incident comes as Haiti is prepared to swear in a new prime minister amid a new power struggle that threatens to plunge the impoverished, crisis-wracked nation into fresh chaos.
These are bullet holes, each one having pierced the fuselage of a passenger flight heading for Port-au-Prince in Haiti. The planes were hit with gunfire on Monday November 11th and had to land in the neighboring country of the Dominican Republic instead. Veuerβs Tony Spitz has the details.
